maf question!!

whats ups guys. I need to know if theres any way to test the mass air flow sensor to see if its working properly. my cars been having some running problems and I think it has to do with my maf but idk how to see if I'm right without having to go out and buy a new sensor. Can anyone help????

i am sure if you search you will find the info you are looking for. I am sure it has something to do with hooking up a multimeter and checking the resistance though

alright well symptoms are an uneven idol from a high idol to a low idol , when i hit the gas pedal theres a delay before the car will rev sometimes sunds like its bogging out. While driving the car will jump because the throttle will just guive out on me and the engine has nothin. i had a vacuum leak in my intake which i fixed and it was much worse prior to the leak , also on occasion the car will stall..

damn, scan for codes and your probably going to need a tune-up. how are your fluids, and the maf is an easy clean out, you just spray crc on the maf itself. there's a write-up in the stickies for probably all of this. look around.

the only codes that come up are for the intake air temp sensor which has always come up from the cai i has installed. also a code for an oxygen sensor i have to change. how much for a full tune up?
