Maf

[Colin Wiltshire]

I just did the unplug the maf, the car stopped straight away. Does this mean the maf is dead?

[Nick Mann]

Nope.

Start it a few times with the maf unplugged. Mostly that will get it to a point where it will run but not always. It might just mean that your cams/fuel pump/map mean that your car won't run with the maf unplugged. It might also mean that you have a small air leak somewhere.

Ok, does it matter if the car is warm or not? I did it after a drive home from work.

[Nick Mann]

No idea. I haven't done it enough to work stuff like that out.

[Colin Wiltshire]

Unplugged the maf again today, while it was miss behaving, the car actually ran better without the maf attached. Ofcourse it wouldn't rev.

Colin, I have a good spare MAF which I can lend you for testing if you want?

[Colin Wiltshire]

That would be great, are you able to give it to someone going to Japfest?

[TAR]

I've sent Rikki a PM as I think he is going. It will also depend on whether he is about in Dunstable/Luton this Saturday.

Colin, PM me if you want it posted out.
