hybrid 1044 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 Pulling the MAF on and off like that is putting the car in and out of different maps in the DME. It wont help the situation and will just confuse the DME. Intake temprature and airflow are sensed by the MAF the DME uses this to accurately calculate the amount of air and how much fuel your car needs at any given time. Removing it puts the DME back to pre-determined maps which will run rich. A safe mode if you will. I would suggest clearing your adaptions first. Also what gas to you put in the car? Adaption out of range can be caused by a lot of things. As antil33t said, a vaccum leak, dirty or damaged MAF, worn plugs, leads, injectors, cam angle sensors, even a gammy crank singnal sensor. You can test the MAF and you should be getting around 700KG/hour at WOT flow rate on an onramp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can reach down to it you may be able to stick your finger in it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
