Do a search on 3.2 airflow meter here, many times they can be rebuilt. I think the most common problem is a wear on the resistance wiper surface, which can be moved around a bit.
There are also used parts places, like Partsheaven in Hayward, CA that can sell you a used one.

If you car is an 1987 model, it is a Carrera, not an SC, right? Good luck, post some pics and become part of the group here...

This link will give you a way to check your AFM with a 9v battery, and how to adjust the wipers if worn.

Hello and welcome. I had problems with a hesitation issue which was partially caused by my AFM. I did as mentioned above and cleaned it and adjusted the wiper arm. Between that and replacing the O2 sensor and cylinder head temp sensor it fixed my problem. I hope that helps.
