Has anyone had a Maf go out on a 5th gen? I am wondering what the symptoms are? My car started idleing crazy today. Than at a red light i could acclerated past 2500 rpms sounded like it kept hitting rev limit. Then I turned the car off and it ran partially fine when i restarted. I went to a friends house and ut it on his reader and it pulled a maf code. Anyone ever seen this act like that?

 

That's exactly what happens when your maf goes bad or becomes disconnected. It's very common on 5th gens I believe.

 

Ya, and just be glad a new MAF for your only costs $80ish, while us 5.5gen guys shell out $450-500

 

Cool thanks I thought it was but had to ask.

 

Ok I changed the maf, and it is still idleing funny. I dont understand it. I am gonna change the plugs tonight.See what happens i also have to put in my walbro this weekend.

 

Well replaced the maf, still did it but took 2 days to do it.I dont understand aaarrrgggghhhh.Wouldnt rev past 23 to 2500 rpms.But it didnt do it all weekend,since thursday.Then did it again sunday. I wish I could figure it out i am going to replace my plugs and check the codes and check somewiring on the maf .Read the codes got MAf code, and bank one running lean.Anyone got any ideas? I put on a new maf thursday. Also what gap does everyone run on their plugs?
