I blew my MAF yesterday(Stalling, wont rev past 3500rpm) Can i drive the car with my MAF disconnected for a few days until the new one comes in? Is this safe?

 

Yes. You should be fine.

 

i assume by disconnected you mean by the connector. it is ok to remove the connector to the maf but dont remove the maf. if you leave the hole open then you are asking for debris to possibly go in after the filter.

 

hmmm nothing happens to our military vehicles wen i drive it w/out the airfilter...

 

it isnt safe to drive. if for some reason you have to speed up quickly your car will die. when mine went bad i couldnt even drive in rush hour traffic. i couldnt speed up very fast and it kept dying. very embarasing when everyone was honking at me

 

thats because its a MILITARY vehicle. not a maxima

 

i no lol i was jus messin around...

 

I'm glad I'm not in your company. Our Warrant Officer would kick our azz if he found out we where doing that.

 

lol im a mechanic.... so i tend to drive around ... *test drive* with out the airfilter sometimes...

 

I disconnected my MAF at the connector and it idles fine, but when I turn on the heat, the car stalls out and dies. Does this mean that the MAF might not be the problem, but that it might be something else as well?

 

Test drove a taurus without an airfilter and a **** eating fly got stuck in the maf. Car wouldn't run.

 

Depending upon the readings from the various sensors, you might be fine, but you could possiblly cause the computer to go into unpredictable solutions, which might leave you stranded.

 

dam 3500rpms. Ours on the third anything of 2000rps and it just hits the limiter and will not let it pass 2000rpms. Drivablty is not possible on the third gen
