Default MAF Sensor

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.

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

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.

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....

Yep. Outrageous.

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

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