I hate this maf i almost want to just leave it unplugged. Does anyone have any CRAZY or Unlikely fixes to this problem? i will try anything at this point. I'm actually even changing the spark plugs tomorrow even tho i did it 4 months just so i feel like im trying something
I was having similar, problems I had Maf code (circuit low), so I changed the maf to a bwd brand and it would start and cut off immediately and rpm gauge would rev up on its own. I went to the website and it had quite a few bad reviews..I took the Maf sensor back and got a Cardone brand Maf. It seems to not do the start up and cutting off so far... I just changed it today, so I will see what happens.
Secondly The thing that I noticed with both new mafs (not sure if the car was doing it before because I bought the car with a bad maf to begin with.) NOT sure if its maf related or not. But When i get to 20 mph the engine kinda clunks, its very prominent if I'm tapping the gas constantly until i get pass 20 mph at the 15- 20 mph mark it will clunk very noticeably... I just drove it and it did not do it..not sure if its a temperature thing. I also have a po420 code not sure if that's causing it...I have no other codes stored
