Guest Wanny Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I read lots of posts about this MAF sensor problem, but out of intrest what sort of syptoms occur when this is faulty ? Quote
Guest T120 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 The problem on mine was put your foot down and it accelerated to about 3.5k rpm then went flat eventualy to about 5.0k rpm. If you disconnect the MAF and run it and it runs better then the sensor is faulty. People have talked about cleaning them but this is not permanent. When mine was changed as soon as I drove off it left rubber on the road that was how notiable it was. You did not say if the car is a diesel or petrol, as my detail above is for a diesel, don't know if the effect is the same for petrol. Best of luck in your problem. Quote
