My brother got this max about a month ago.. for a good price. its a 2000 max GLE with 200K. At first it ran normal but wouldn't let you rev past 3k rpm and kinda slip or not shift! so i thought it might need a Tune up. I sea foamed it, changed spark plugs(NGK plat. of course), and oil. now it wont even stay running, i have to keep cranking it til it gets warm then it will idle. Still run crappy!
I have to barely touch the throttle to drive it.. takes me like 2min to reach 60mph.

Has anyone ever had the same problem? or Know what it might be?

I've owned a couple 4th gens? but never a 5th gen, I've been thinking about taking the Intake manifold(00vi) off but it looks really complicated than the 4th gen. Is there any write-up on that..


Thanks in Advance

 

Bad MAF and TCM, get in touch with Dave B

 

Whats a TCM?

 

don't even bother with TCM, that is a textbook blown MAF....

 

lol.. thanks irish

how much do they run at autozone or the dealership?

 

order it from daveb...read the stickies for the info

 

1-888-254-6060

 

If you get it from Dave B, it'll prob run you $80 or so. Easy fix, and as Irish stated, you have a textbook case. slap the new one in, and enjoy.

 

btw, you probably cannot get them at the local auto parts store, only at a dealer (or DaveB)

 

I just contacted Dave B he told be its about $84 sounds pretty good. I'ma order it, and hopefully ENJOY....

Thanks for Info... ill keep ya posted!

 

yup its the maf

 

Yea classic MAF good thing you didnt go the tcm route that is at least 400 bucks down the drain. Btw, tcm is transmission computer.

 

THANKS GUYS!!! i got the MAF yesterday and put it in this morning.... And WOW it was running great!!!! then i some how the radiator cracked, but ima take care of that..

I'm just happy it ran normal...
