Exactly what codes bring you to the conclusion that it is the MAF? *NM* mikefocke, '01S Sanford, NC - Monday, 12 December, 2011, at 6:34:07 pm |

Probably not the MAF. You can clean it if you want but hard to imagine how the MAF could ... MarcW - Tuesday, 13 December, 2011, at 9:05:22 am |

I am throwing some codes that point me to a bad MAF. Issue is this MAF only has 7 to 8K miles on it. This is only the 3rd MAF I have put in and my car has 165K miles on it.
With this few miles on this MAF compared to the first 2 could I be looking at another issue that looks like a bad MAF or do some go this quickly? I cleaned it 2X but codes come back.
98 2.5L 165K miles

Bad MAF or insufficient fuel supply or pressure could be the cause of the errors too... MarcW - Tuesday, 13 December, 2011, at 11:52:56 am |

Not argueing here just talking through this- I looked for obvious air leaks as I agree 1124/1126 can be caused by leaks, oil cap seems fine, radiator cap new this year. Pumped some smoke in looking for leaks could not find anything or hear anything. AOS has 28K miles on it- have no obvious smoke typical of AOS failure & and pulled connection and see no oil build up typical of a failing AOS. Stock air filter approx 2K miles ago. pulled a couiple of plugs and they clean/dry of oil.
I am not sure what else to check... Seems that a bad MAF could indeed cause issues defined for 1124/1126
P0102- Mass Or Volume Air Flow A Circuit Low Input
P1124 - Manufacturer Controlled Fuel And Air Metering
P1126- Manufacturer Controlled Fuel And Air Metering

Swapping the suspected bad MAF with another probably good MAF is a good trick too... MarcW - Wednesday, 14 December, 2011, at 7:23:25 am |

I've got a question. For $600 bucks, aren't there plenty of folks out there who would just disconnect the battery and let the CEL go out, and just forget about it until it comes back on.
I did that 18 months ago, and it stays off until last week.
I can't get too energized about a freaky light. It reminds me of what Churchill said: Never before have so many people toiled so hard, spent so much, and accomplished so little.
OKAY, I'm kidding, and I am buying a Code Reader to get to the bottom of my CEL issues, but, still, something seems out of whack with the money and hassles on CEL problems.
P.S. Any idea how much money the dealer rake in over this issue?
That is definitely great information to know! bar10dah - Monday, 23 January, 2012, at 6:47:02 pm |

Generally a dealer-sold MAF will last a looooooong time, while the aftermarket ones seem to have a much shorter life span.
