• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Can i drive home?
 


Yea. Odds are you will need a new MAF sensor or just clean yours. All that will happen is it may run a little rough at times but youll make it.
 
Yea the Ebay ones are junk. I had that issue back in Nov and got an ebay one. It helped for about 2 weeks or so before it started making the car miss and die at idle. I just got another one from Morad auto for like $45 that was used and it cleared up all my problems.
 


^ my car gives me no rest.
I spend so much time and money on this stupid car.

And the code is not the maf.
The maf is just a stored one

Its the other one
 
Ok so thats what i did.

I unplugged the maf sensor.

Then i got only the maf code.
Plugged it back. Code still on

Then i deleted all codes.
Now i have no ses light but start up feels the same like when disconnected.

When u turn on the car the rpm goes up to 1700 then to 500 and stays on 850.

** after few tries it gets better start ups.
I didnt try to drive it yet after reseting.
I notice less power when i drove it back.
Took me more time to get to 60 mph than usual.
 


Likely you have a maf or maf connector issue.

Please google or at least search these codes and you'll learn all about them, what causes them and why they are often appearing together. You'll also learn how one can be set in one drive cycle and the other takes two to set it. Which explains one current, one pending.

To drive.. unhook maf, drive nicely.. enjoy the orange glow of the SES.
 
I searched some of ur name with the code.

I can check for vac leak. I dont think its a leak tho. I think its something with my CAI caused the maf to go bad.
 
Well..if it's over oiled a cone filter can hurt a maf. Because of the oil hitting the maf.

You don't need to look for a vacuum leak. You have a bad maf.
 


Incomplete means you haven't run the car enough to get a valid reading. Happens when you disconnect the battery and everything is reset. I found this out when I disconnected the battery to clear a code, then took the car in for an emissions test. I was told the same thing. You'll have to drive the car for about a week or 100-200 miles, then those incompletes will be complete.
