338michael Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 88 DL Wagon w/ EA 82. Recently advised to CLEAN MAF, bought MAF Sensor cleaning spray, removed sensor from Body, sprayed it, let dry and replaced. Was VERY careful in Removal, Handling and Replacement, but have suffered Mileage loss shortly thereafter. Tested Sensor in accordance with Chilton Manual. Can any one give me some advice on testing MAF, was it a mistake to mess with it in the 1st place??? Any suggestions as to where to pick one up???

tysons92loyale Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I would look at a junk yard, and bring your dmm to check the ohms before you buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 DL had spfi motor? Either way is your only problem bad fuel economy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
338michael Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yes to the SPFI Question, Idea's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Any possibility of an air leak? A fair amount of old hoses and connections have to be moved to get the maf off. Something may have been distubed? I've not had any trouble with maf sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
338michael Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 tysons92loyale, you mentioned testing MAF @ the junkyard w/DMM. The manual I have gives only how to test by applying 12v across 2 contacts and checking from Neg contact to a 3rd. Do you have specific Resistance #'s to check for a GOOD MAF???

DaveT Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Where is that link to the factory service manual when you need it? iirc, they listed ohm tests. Nothing you did should have hurt it, unless somehow mixed up pins when supplying 12V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
