Hi Guys

Just been to the shop to get a few beers to watch the footie, started the car back up on leaving the shop drove aproxx 500yrds to the next junction and the revs dipped went back up to 750 rpm then dipped again to just above 0 rpm and the car stalled....

Any ideas on what the problem is

The MAFs about to go,
The MAFs about to go,
Eeeooo Then The Engine Blows,
The MAFs about to go!!

Its the current hot topic ....... I think someone, somewhere has a stock of MAFs they want to offload as everyone seem to be re-newing theirs 'just-in-case'

Hi Pete

I will be getting the MAF changed on Friday, are there any other indicators that the MAF is on its way out ???

Russ

 

lower mpg. (well, lower than normal!)

 

Higher mpg don't you mean??

The car runs weaker, less fuel used?

Pete

 

got a spare maf if you want one...?

 

Rich ..... keep that MAF for me - I'm gonna need it when my warranty runs out!!

Pete

 

ok love , all for you!!!

 

also got an engine + full remap for a fiver.

 

Just to add: drive it VERY gently i.e. off boost till Friday. BTW I seem to remember you reporting taking the car for a service recently and changing the air filter. Certain types can contaminate the MAF sensor IIRC. What one did you use. I'd go with the std one personally, or the Green cotton one.

All the best.

The part is the gasket between the inter cooler and the pipe that feeds it PART no 21896 If you buy this part take lots of care doing it..
Try this my mate did and it seemed to work..

 

The Lambda sensor causes this kind of lumpy idle too.

 

Yup, as above comments. Could be either MAF or Lambda. If you can hook up a Subaru select monitor, or Deltadash, or SECS monitor, you should be able to see if the Lambda is dead from the voltage it's producing (or not).

I've had 2 lambda's die in the past. One caused the car to go into 'limp home mode', the other died quietly without flagging up an error but was reading 0v everywhere.

MAF failures don't usually cause a 'check engine' light, but can sometimes be picked up if you have a Knocklink or AFR meter fitted, as the car usually runs lean when the MAF fails.

 

rich this is my car...http://www.novaload.net/features/vie...e.php?ref=2257,
would the maf you have fit my car, so so if the other person doesnt want it will, need one
