How to test for faulty MAF
Just wondering how to test for a faulty MAF. Right now it seems to hesitate and kinda buck under acceleration especially up hills. Sometimes it surges and sometimes it just stalls. If I got the cruise on the interstate it works beautifully. If I pull the plug on the MAF and drive how should the car act? Oh yeah the maf did throw a ses light.
Thanks All GoBears

Re: How to test for faulty MAF
If you unplug the maf and it runs good after the idle stabilizes, the MAF is the problem. Your symptoms sound just like mine. Dealership wanted 350.00 for a new MAF. You can get one from zzp for 125.00 or you can get a stage 1 throttle body from zzp for 250 with a new iac, tps, and MAF. Thats what I did. It should be fine to drive your car for a couple weeks while your parts ship if you do decide to order ffrom zzp.

Re: How to test for faulty MAF
Ok thanks for the help. I guess I'm probably gonna just replace the maf since money is tight and theres a few more problems that need addressing.
Thanks again GoBears
