  • still sputtering

    well i thought my car was fixed after i replaced the maf but after a few days it started missing and sputtering on heavy accel. and low reverse accel. ive replaced fuel filter,maf,map and was tuned up last summer...whats wrong with my car?? btw i also got a cut out on my exhaust if that has anything to do with it.

    Re: ah damn

    you need to be more specific with what's considered a "tune-up." Some shops will just replace your plugs and call it a day...others will replace nearly every ignition component and filter

      and remember, if you pay a shop to do the plugs they are likely to (half @$$) it and "forget" to do some. expecally in a 4th gen f body. are there any codes????????????????????????

          well turns out the replacement MAF went bad on me...what could make your new maf go bad?

            bad luck can make it go bad or something getting through the filter and damaging the wires, who knows what happens to some of these electronics

              i have a "chrome intakes" cold air intake... think i should go back to stock intake or stick to my cold air intake? i looked at the bad maf i didnt see anything that appeared to be wrong with it as far as the prones on the sensor or the prones inside the cylinder part of it

                you have the maf screen in yet?

                also how do the wires look at the connector?

                    maf screen is the screen that goes in the front of your throttlebody. it is a metal waffle looking circle

                            no I was asking if you took it out or not, you can look to see if it is damaged though I guess.

                            How do you know your sensor is bad again?
