P0102 - Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit Low Input
P1102 - Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit Range / Performance Problem

Step 1: remove MAF
Step 2: get new MAF
Step 3: put in new MAF
Step 4: enjoy spending nearly $100 on new MAF or nearly $600 on MAF+tube

To reset the ECU, read 5th generation FAQ-U

 

damn... more money to spend... ARGGG

thnanks for the information..... my bad for not checking on the FAQ..

time to call the dave the part guy....

 

my car's RMP won't go above 2.5K.... is that normal for bad MAF?

 

yes.. its called limp mode

 

thanks...

i been calling part stores around my area... and they want almost $500 for it...

holy cow.. any where to get it cheap? will be it okay to just ride it like this for while till i find a cheap place to get a new one? or will it ruin the car?

 

two words for you.. junk yard

It'll drive like ish, but since your MAF is already going, you could try to clean it out with a K&N recharge kit ($40 IIRC) like Emax did. Im not sure how long it lasted him. Basically, there is gunk build-up on the sensor so its not metering it properly. If you know some electrical and mechanical basics, replacing the sensor alone will cost you about $100 vs. $500 for a whole new assemble.

 

i will try to clean it with K&N recharger kit..... do i just spray the kit on the sensor? and wash it away with water and let dry?

so it won't mess the car up more by driving with bad MAF sensor? i just don't want it to cost more later while i try to find a cheaper place.

 

You're going to have to look through the pages for that. I can't remember the correct steps exactly...

IIRC, I think you remove the MAF, let it soak in the solution and let it air dry. But I'm not 100% sure.

If you don't change it, you'll get to a point where the MAF won't read anything at all and your car will hiccup and stumble and stop all day long.

 

so far so good... blew my MAF on friday night and as long as i keep the RMP less then 2.5K... it has been running w/o any issue... knock on wood...


but i'm going to call around the junk yard to see if there is any avaliable..

i hope i find one... b/c i sure don't want to waste $488....

thanks for all the help .org

Give them a call and see if its still available.
If it is, and you want it, I can pick it up for you, I work right down the road from them and meet you up north and deliver it to you since I live up north as well.
