MAF
As I'm having issues with my cars running, I was clutching at straws yesterday and thought hey 'wonder what would happen if I unplug the plug on the maf sensor?' so anyway for a start the car started much quicker than usual, and seemed very smooth under mild throttle. However as I expected when I gave it some beans it was all over the place so I quickly plugged it back in and hey presto it took a few more turns to start and was hesitating again. I have no CEL, but am I right in thinking this would only show a failed sensor not a failing one? Would cleaning the maf help do ya think?
Thanks |
Hard to comment without knowing the MY and other details of the vehicle.
Yes, you are correct, you will only get a code once the sensor is out of range. |
There are a few posts on here from splitpin about a check for your MAF.

Don't forget to reset the ECU after fitting the new sensor. |

I did PM Lisa when she put the sticky up in Gen Tech, re putting a line or two in asking users to put their cars in their garages. But as she said, we'll be lucky if any one reads it anyway.:Whatever_

TBH I prefer the wording the way she's got it - asking posters to include relevant info in the thread, rather than in the garage. If you're scanning through a stack of posts it's far easier if it's all there rather than a click or few away.
It's a compromise if you like. Better to have the info a couple of clicks away than not available at all. |
