Mass Air FLow sensor

Maverick530 · December 3rd, 2010, 04:05 PM

well i think my MAF is going out, the reasons being, autozone said it was (but apparently thats not to helpful because apparently thats what every problem is to them) but im getting about 175 miles to the tank, and its running a little rough. also the previous owner said it might be going out, ( i bought the car about a 5 days ago) and a little rough in idle.

SOOOOO.... do yall know of any cold air intakes that sell with the MAF with it, because i figure i might as well get that if they have one

None that I know of. Also you want to replace the stock MAF with a stock MAF unless you intend to get the car re-tuned.

Perhaps, the MAF just need cleaned. I don't know the symptons of a failing MAF but I did get water on mine once. The car practically wouldn't run. With the MAF not measuring the air correctly, the computer didn't add the correct amount of fuel. Opening the throttle just caused it to cough and sputter. It was getting more air but no additional fuel.

Does your car run good?

yea it runs good, its just a little rough at idle, not so much that its a problem, but im getting really bad gas mileage, and i should be getting better since i have new exhaust, and underwire pulleys

More than likely, you just need to clean the MAF. This is especially true if you have an oiled air filter (like a K&N), as the oil tends to make its way onto the MAF sensor wires and attracts dust.

yes i do have a K&N but i my brother had cleaned the MAF,, but i can do it again

i went out and got some cleaner, cleaned it, let it dry, did it again, let it dry, set it back in my car, and now just waiting about 20 mins before i start the car, when i took it out, none of the wires where messed up or anything, it looked good
