i hit some water last friday when it rained bad, i think some water might have gotten into the throttle body. What could be wrong that i might need to replace. it turns on and runs but idles odd and has a delayed and limited acceleration response. It took more than an hour to turn it on. weird thing is it accelerates itself while left in park and idleing when it seems to drop below 500 rpm

Re: reduced engine power light came on
i would pull the park plugs out and see what they look like. also change the oil
if you did suck water in, you probably screwed the maf sensor

Re: reduced engine power light came on
the maf sensor works by heating a thin wire, then as air comes in and passes the wire it cools the wire. and the computer calculates how much air is coming into the engine by the difference in temp of the wire. So if water got on the sensor it would mess it up pretty badLast edited by Meatyshells; 06-23-2009, 04:27 PM.

Re: reduced engine power light came on
this literally just happened to me. first check the ignition relay. i changed out everything everybody on here told me and it turned out to be that.Comment

Re: reduced engine power light came on
Ok how hard is it to change the maf sensor. And when you said it turned out to be that did you mean the relay or the maf sensorComment

Re: reduced engine power light came on
How do i take the maf screen off and is there anyway of physically inspecting the sensor to see if the sensor is damagedComment

Re: reduced engine power light came on
the maf should pull out the top with 2 really small screws

Re: reduced engine power light came on
to take the screen off just pop the ring off the front and the screen will come right off. i'm not sure but i dont think there is a way to check it. i might be wrong thoughComment
