acf8181 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 ok, maybe i need to double check then...i thought ob1 maf's were a mesh of some kind. Link to post Share on other sites

tommy 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Doh! I just sold one on ebaydid that maf come off the red vr in autobreak,colchester Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 the difference is in the connector, obd1 have 2 wires, and obd2 have 3 iirc. dunno what the wiring difference is all about, may have something to do with the throttle body being electronicaly metered.[ Edited Wed Oct 13 2004, 07:41PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
