AFM problems?

1988 S4 TII

I believe the last owner put in a N/A AFM instead of the turbo II AFM but that doesn't seem to be the problem. The problem lies within maybe the AFM itself? or the wiring.

When I start the car the only way to keep it alive is to keep the flap open on the AFM. So with my assistant aka dad, I start the car and he keeps the flap open so the car can get air in and keep the car running. Once he lets go of course it just sputters and dies.

any clues to what may be wrong?
