yhm back

 

still require maf sensor please

 

Dont mean to suggest the seemingly obvious to some.......but not all! I work on these cars for a living and have never had the need to replace either an early maf sensor or an idle control valve! Try cleaning the hot wire with a spray solvent such as brake cleaner or carb cleaner. Then dry the wire with gentle compressed air. This should cure your problem and save some cash!

Gareth I have a mate who has the eact same problem asd me and he tried what you suggested, it worked for a few days then went back to running like a pig. I am gonna give it a try will let you know how it goes.

Still looking for a maf tho

 

Gareth - how long have you worked on these cars?

Mafs seem to go quite commonly on these cars as found out alot in technical forum. Quite a few mechanics on there have suggested cleaning but as Krade says, it doesnt last long so a replacement MAF is needed.

More common for the pre 96 scoobs to have their MAF go compared to the newer ones

 

btt

 

yup,been there,tried the cleaning route and was great for three days. Then,it went straight back to its previous state,if not even worse than before Replacement on its way

 

LoL ya bugger as bad as frank getting me hopes up, making me think one was offerd :P

 

oops,sorry

 

btt

 

have another bttt on me

 

have you got an induction kit on youre car if so take it of and put standard back on otherwise youll be lucky to get 6 months out of a new maf sencer there about 150 plus for a new one are try www.grade a subaru there about 80 pound for a second hand one

 

??

Induction kit isnt as bad on the old ones Maf. Ive ran mine for over a year and had no problems. Customer cars have ran it over years with no problems.

Its the later one that has the problems mate. The earlier ones are fine

 

well the cleaning idea hasnt really worked to well. Ran like a pig idleing at 2.3k revs and then it had a fit and the revs varied from 1.7k to 2.5k as if you were reving at the lights. Then it chucked up a check engine light.

Left it till this morning and reset the ecu after a bit of a stuttery start it seems to be running about the same as before I cleaned it.



Still need a maf

 

mail

 

if ya still stuck mail me details and will check if i have the correct one i.e 3 pin?? pt no.. got a couple kickin around somewhere....j
