shail 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Should be ok. Have a look at the MAF to see if its dirty first though. MAF error could be caused by dodgy wires in the multi plug going into the MAF, check those too. Link to post Share on other sites

rusty dan 1 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 where is the maf, sorry o the dumb question lol, by the throttle housing? Link to post Share on other sites
amazak 3 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 where is the maf' date=' sorry o the dumb question lol, by the throttle housing?[/quote']It is between the airbox and throttle housing. Also I am not certain that all is good as the car still feels like it's holding back a tad bit. gonna put it back on the machine. Link to post Share on other sites
