I have a 2k2 6spd with about 15,500 miles on it. Everything has been great until today on teh way home from work. ALl the sudden as I was accelerating from a red light my car started violently shaking. I pulled off to the side of the road. Waited a minute and than tried it again. Luckily I was about 1 mile from home. I found that as soon as the car hit 2400 RPM's the car started this violent bucking. What the hell happened?? I have no engine mods. Any ideas?? I just did a quick search and couldnt find anything. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

 

Sounds like your MAF sensor went.

Search on MAF failures and see it it sounds familiar.

Are you using the stock air filter or a K&N type?

 

stock. . everything is stock

 

Don't worry about it then, you should have no problems getting replaced by the dealer. I'll add you to the list of MAF failures.

 

Man that sucks. I guess even stock 2K2's are prone to the evil failing MAF. Maybe I shouldn't get another Max....

 

Im gonna go raise hell tomorrow morning. .of course the service dept closed already today! I have a q for all you who have had warranty work done like this before. . .is it common for them to give a loaner car? I need my car for transportation to work and for work. Anything advice is helpful here. Thank you all

 

or...coils?

mine did this and they said the MAF was fine, but they replaced the coils.
