Weird one.

I bought a V4 MAF sensor a while back, the part number checked out fine.

Just come to fit it and instead of the correct 2 pin black connector it has a 5 pin white one. I can only think that its been modified to fit another car with a weaker MAF?

What car uses a 5 pin white connector? I can get pics if needs be.

 

Here is a pic of the connector:



Does anyone have any ideas what that would fit? It originally came from claaarkio.

 

HHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!

 

I "think" some of the the non-turbo cars had 5 pins

 

Thanks mate.

Anyone got a definitive answer?

 

what colour label does it have?

im pretty sure the v4 has a purple lable maff, the v5/6 has a bolt in type sensor that goes in the maff tube

 

Hi mate

the label is orange which is right for a v3/4 car. just the connector is wrong

 

any pics of the plug on yours . im pretty certain your should have a 5 pin as pictured.

 

I think it should be a three pin as per these pics

Oh annd V3/V4 WRX MAF's are Purple
V3/V4 Sti MAFs are Orange

 

thats the first time ive seen one with 3 pins

i have 2 green, 1 orange and one purple maff and all have 5 pins (i think ive read somewhere the 5thpin isnt wired up tho)

sorry i cant help mate, might be worth while getting a pin out to see if it can be rewired to match you loom.

 

V3 STI definitely orange label 3 pin. Iv had 3 on mine sourced from various places & all were the same.

 

You sure it's not a Nissan Z32 MAF? A 'common' replacement/upgrade for the MY97/98 (and MY93-96) cars, as it's physically the same size tube (80mm dia.)....? Does the code end in "...P00" (lol)?

Just a thought.

If so, you need the other side of the connector (obviously), with at least an inch or so of the 5 wires sticking out (called a "pigtail"). Then you can splice it into the OEM loom, and then get rescaled/remapped....

 

No its def the right part number. 22680aa271.

If anyone wants it let me know as utterly useless to me. Only bought it as a spare.

 

new £426 http://www.japanesemotorspares.co.uk...rts-22680aa271

 

Yep. Outrageous.

They normally turn up on EBAY for about £100. They dont normally have 5 pins tho!

 

or £353 if you go to Import car parts rather than flat4online

just threw the top one in from google mark

 

ive just found a 3 pin orange label maff in my garage if you want it

 

Thanks for the offer mate but only bought this as a spare. just annoying that am out of pocket cos cant do anything with it.

 

That's par for the course when accruing bits to modify cars, I'm afraid...

 

The 22b has the orange label maff and also the white 5pin
