well, the AFM uses the moving air going into the engine to keep it supplied with fuel

it's obviously got fire if it runs for a second

aparently, fuel and air are presesnt as well (for a limited time obviously), because as you claimed, an engine just wont run without them; since it does fire up for a couple seconds, then I guess they're there

but the "2 second run" sounds typical of a malfuctioning or disconnected AFM

go unplug yours, I bet it'll do the exact same thing as what he describes
