hmm have u checked ur codes on the ECu using the oul black connectors under the dash, to confirm its ur maf, how did u reset the ecu? I prefer to leave the battery diconnected for an hour to be sure it is possible to damage the maf during fitting but im sure u were careful (didnt drop it did ya? ) check that all connectors are secure ?!?

good luck

cheers

what i did was have it put on a select monitor and up it came that it was the maf apperently it was only producing 0.2 volts when it should be 1.5volts(apperently) i connected the two plugins under dash but since then i have like you say disconnected the battery like you say and no i didn`t drop the maf allthough who knows if the dealer etc.. did

waiting for another hour or so until i connect the battery and then fingers crossed

thanks for the reply mark

loom problems?

yehah

i dont know whether to laugh or cry i didn`t need a maf sensor at all

listen to this a couple of months ago i made a cold air feed by running some samco hose running it into the inner wing and fitting a k&n induction kit on the end of it this meant altering the maf sensor housing and for some stupid reason i fitted it back round the wrong way

so i have been running the car for 2 months with the maf pointing the wrong way

now i cant beleive that the car has been running up to now like this and also how comes if the old one worked for a little while backwards how comes the new one didn`t

anyway i dont care if i look a plonker i have a spare maf and the car feels as if it has ann extra 40bhp

i also hve avo coilovers and the scoob now has no understeer and seems to handle on rails cant wait for it to be alligned

You dont look a plonker as long as you learn

And you had the 8alls to admit it was you

Not as big a plonker as "specialists" who didn't notice a housing the wrong way round
Care to name them?

paul have you had your avos fitted yet as you probably know i had plenty trouble fitting them but now they are on i am releived that it was worth it

spoke to a guy at avo and he told me

1) centre of the wheel to the edge of the wheelarch should be 340mm

2)the dampers should be set to 1 full turn clockwise from the fully anti clockwise point for fast road settings and 2.5 turns for trackdays

i hope that helps

saturday morning suddenly the check engine light cmes on and the car starts kangerooing all over the place

so quickly i was able to get it on to a select monitor which tells me that the maf sensor has gone

so i get a maf sensor cartridge from subaru for £72 and fit it do a ecu reset and off i go thinking i will be getting my car back

but ohhhh no the car is the same

so is there anymore i should be doing or is it possible that something else has gone wrong

the place i had it on the select monitor was a specialist so it would be a bit funny for me to go back even though they told me what the problem was and it appears it hasn`t sorted it

if you were wondering why i didn`t go with them it is becouse i was quoted £180 for doing it and that was a second hand one and i thought that was a bit much for a part that cost £72 brand new
