Part number,no idea,but there's two linked parts sites stick'd at the top of this page.
To swap,pull off and push the replacement on.
If un-metered air is entering the inlet after the AFM,it will confuse the engine ECU and cause poor running.

It's a little inaccessible on a M20. Easiest way is to remove the throttle body from the inlet manifold, turn it upside down, and you will find (usually the tattered remains of) it, very close to the throttle position switch.
Check the TPS 'while you're in there'.
Part # is 11 61 1 727 176 (I think).
