MAF trouble
 

hi
ive just come to terms with the fact that im goin to lose out alot of money on my once pride and joy, this is a mix between needing to get rid of it, due to financial difficulties and people not willing to spend in our current economic climate...
please go easy on me

MY97 STI

i have purchased new MAF and a used ICV as directed by on board diagnostic, fitted, reset ecu. yet still im having the same problem, i.e. spluttering and 1500 rpm idle, which can be very eratic at times.
anyway got the car home and 24 check light again:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall

im completely lost now, any ideas??
i have cleaned throttle body, done lambda, throttle position and temp sensors. new MAF, which is third in as many months, although other 2 were used but cleaned sufficiently. the ICV was properly cleaned. ive put in new plugs with correct gaps.

im guessing my only option left is to get her hooked to a proper diagnostic machine

Needs a professional ! i think youv'e covered every base .
Remap will find out whats wrong i had a similar problem fitted a simtek and live map ran perfect !

Give race dynamix a shout Duncan will sort it out for you

thanks,
i dont really wana spend out on an ecu, although i know it will help gettin rid of the poxy MAF's
being a V4, i cant get it remapped

From what i have heard certain dump valaves can be an issue with idling issues but just whilst the car is stationary, have you checked all the air pipes for any cracks etc?

ps have you made certaon that you have replaced the icv with the correct replacement the colours are diff just wondered regards lee

True a month ago

Not true today ;)

Duncan (Race Dynamix) can do you an install and map for £550 IIRC

hi,
ye ive checked both,
im gona try inlet and exhaust manifolds 2mo

i have the correct ICV
surely swapping the ecu for an earlier model and gettin it mapped is achieveable??
