MAF problem

[lilchubby]

Ok i had a friend come down to help tune the car for the GT2. he pluged in the hptuners, and noticed he was flat lined on the maf. So we quickly assume mine has took a dump on me and pull his off his car to go ahead and get the tune right. We plug his in and restart it, and its still flatlined. Our only thought is that somewhere during the motor swqp a wired to the maf got pulled out or pinched somewhere. All 3 of the wires going into the connector look fine, and from their it runs into some loom and futher down into the main harness. Ive decieded to take it to the shop in a day or two since it was fine before they put the motor in. My question is before i do that, is their anything else i could check that im not thinking of? Thanks guys,

Re: MAF problem

I have had a pinch before in my maf lines. It should throw a code, mine did and I just staighten it out and haven't had a problem since. Good luck finding the problem.

Re: MAF problem

well i found out part of the problem. the engine sensor fuse was blown. i replaced it and it blew right away, which means their is a short somewhere. Electrical problms are not my thing, so off to the shop it goes.

Good Luck. I hope the shop doesn't rape you on finding the short.

Re: MAF problem

Well it looks like the located it rather quickly. It was acutally an 02 sensor that was shorting the whole thing out. luckily the shop had one in house and i can pick up tomarrow witht he total bill being 60 bucks. i cant beat that!
