    Yes, they'll do it for free. Get the actual code from them (ignore the BS they tell you about what is wrong) and bring us the code.

    P0102 is the code.

    THing will barely stay running.


    I have alread cleaned the aic or whatever it is. This says that the vaf maf sensor is dirty.

    Where is it and how do I clean it?

    THanks for all the help.

    Greatly appreciated

    P0102 - Mass Air Flow circuit low input

    Could be that it's dirty. Could also be that it's bad. The MAF is in the throttle body, with four (I think) security torx screws. If you have the right bit it's easy to get out. Clean it with throttle body cleaner that says on the bottle is safe for MAFs and a q-tip.
