What else can I help you with?
How do you test a MAF sensor on a 78 Datsun 280z?
pull the sensor off and try just running throttle body and if there is no difference, the sensor is bad. if it will not run or acts up without the sensor, then the sensor is good
Why does my car rumble and shake at idle and very slow speeds but run fine after some acceleration?
Check the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF Sensor). Either it is dirty or damaged.
What are the symptoms of a failed MAF sensor in a 2000 Pontiac GTP?
On my 2000 Grand Prix 3.8L the symptoms were "when warmed up a little the engine would idle up and down and then stall out, I could not restart the engine until cold" I unplugged the MAF sensor and car would run without stalling. Try this method to test yours.
How do you run your car without a mass airflow sensor?
You don't.
Can a bad idle control valve cause a car to run rich?
Not normally. Usually it willl cause a high idle and lean condition. Your car needs more fuel to run rich... i.e. MAF Sensor or O2 sensor causing out of whack Fuel trims.
1988 olds delta 88 with a 3.8 motor it had been running terrible and died all the time when idleing so you unplugged the maf sensor which stopped that but now it revs up high and then slows way down a?
Replace your MAF sensor. The MAF sensor provides part of the air fuel mixture information. When they fail, they throw off your mixture. Installing a new MAF will make your car run like its supposed to. Unplugging it is only good to get you home.
What would cause a car to run very badly with the idle air control unplugged but cut off and not run when it is plugged in?
A hole or crack in the tube leading from the MAF sensor over to the throttle body.
What does the engine do if the MAF sensor is going bad?
the engine will seem to cut out or run really rough
Can MAF Sensor be cleaned?
Yes. Most parts stores carry MAF Cleaner in a spray can. If your MAF is grimey, it can cause your engine to run rough, hesitate, etc... MAF Cleaner will help a lot. Just be careful handling the MAF, it's a delicate part.
What causes a car to run rough while accelerating and stall at a stop?
Some possibilities include: faulty or dirty MAF sensor, fuel pressure regulator, or the torque converer solenoid.
Ford Explorer 1991 maf sensor operates at voltage or frequency?
dont work to fired run
When your car looses power you restart the car and it runs fine again why could it be the mass airflow sensor?
while driving the car it warms up and becomes dependant on the maf sensor to run the car properly. when you first start the car it runs on a pre programmed set of parameters independent of sensor data until it gets to operational temperatures on various sensors (drive cycle) restarting your car resets the drive cycle temporarily
