Re: Mass Air SensoR

when you have a 1996+ model, it should set off a OBD II code...

sometimes your vehicle may go into "limp mode"

what that website didn't mention is when some people use those re-cleanable filters and re-oil it too much, then the excess coats the wire in the MAFs & you'll need to clean it with an electrical cleaner

Even pre 96 cars can get an CEL from a faulty MAS and not all faulty MAS cause a CEL.
