Default where can I get a air flow meter?

I need one for my sc400, and I cant find it anywhere online. I need a Karmen Vortex style AFM.

For awhile my sc was stuttering on the freeway or whenever you gave it alot of gas. And recently the rpms started dipping at low idle or at a stop light. I disconnected the AFM and it drove like a bat out of hell (atleast for a NA car). So I'm assuming that I need a new one.

is there anyway to get around it? or do I definitely need one? just curious what would happen if I drove with it disconnected?

anyone know if the Python injection AFM would work?

you can't start/run the car without it

I doubt the python would work unless it says it's made for the sc400

I've been driving around with it disconnected for a few days now and it hasnt acted up for me. Everything is running normal, a little rich but normal, well trac light is on and so is the check engine light but it still drives fine I've had it up to about 60 mph.
