maf sencor help
maf sencor help
well had the trc light bling on and off this morning an the way to work and it got a fault code on the maf sensor. is this the air meter sencor or is the maf sensor hidden from sight. was running very rich and going itto limp mode when i hit 3000 rmp and the turbo starts cutting in
The maf sensor is on the intake pipe its rectangle with rounded edges helf on by 2 screws
Once off you can look inside it and see some small electrical prongs, clean these with some electrical contact cleaner and get
A small cotton bud and gently brush off any remaining dirt, dry it off and reattach. That should solve the problem

i'm not sure were it would sit. i got told that i have a air flow temp sensor that you can see sitting in the t hose next to the air filter... is it this one
Oh didn't realise that sorry mate and I can't quite tell from the picture as I'm on my phone and its all squasshed sorry mate
is the maf sensor sitting in the air filter box normal. black with 2 wires on it. about 2" long and just a black probe

That's an IS200, right ? In which case it has a MAP sensor, not a MAF sensor. It shouldn't need cleaning (unlike a MAF sensor).
It's located towards the throttle body, on the inlet side. Will try and find a better pic/diagram.
What was the code exactly ?

Here's a diagram, it's the "vacuum sensor" in this one - http://bahamutcars.free.fr/workshop/IS_9...i_0060.pdf

(would edit, but I can't)
Have you got a secondary MAP sensor, e.g. add-on or integrated into an ECU ? Because the stock MAP sensor won't be able to handle your boost from the turbo.
