Hi guys, I just brought an 04 blobeye an the previous, previous owner spent a good few quid on the engine, front mount, induction kit etc. Running around 300bhp apparently but the maf sensor has been unplugged an taped up....
According to the guy I got it off it was unplugged because it keeps bringing a warning light on but it's not required anyway!

Anyone got any ideas because I'm confused!

Thanks

 

Going to be needing a new engine soon running it unplugged, reason its unplugged as it wont run with the fault but unplugging it will, get a new maf sensor fitted id not be running the engine until sorted. Guy sounds like he has not a clue so id be getting the mapping checked after a new sensor to make sure all they mods have been adjusted for.

 

blob maf's are £300 so cheap bodge at a guess, need to get it checked out asap and need to drive it as little as possible, best not at all.

 

Ok cheers I will get a replacement sensor.
How come tho the car runs an drives perfect with out it? My classic wouldn't run when maf was unplugged.

 

hold fire getting a new one untill you know its a problem, could have been mapped out.

Need to get it on a dyno at a decent tuner to find out whats going on.

 

If it was mapped out it would not be throwing out faults with the eml

 

WFT???????

 

wow, that is proper fooked.

Best bet get it to a specialist, find out whats going on, could be hiding a multitude of problems

 

Just can't work out why the car runs an drives so well, pluged it in earlier an the car wouldn't start. But fine soon as unplugged

Confused......����

 

WTF indeed. Not just the MAF but the **** poor job at cutting the intake piping. Look at those little swarfs of metal waiting to go straight down the intake into the turbo and engine.

Those rough edges are shocking.... seriously I would be a bit worried about the car judging by what the guy said, the maf issue and the general bodgey nature of things. Get a proper check up mate, to make sure you don't end up with wrecked engine and massive repair bill.

 

Yeah I'm gonna get it checked over, anyone no a good place I'm based in Dartford?
