Really annoyed now. I have had a new maf sensor fitted 2 weeks ago and now on my way home it's broke again. Is it possible the manual boost adjuster or dump valve has caused this? Going to fit a recirc soon as my new samco hose and recirc valve

 

replied in your other post

What year is your car?

Was both of the MAFs new?

Are you running an induction kit?

 

Mafs were new and it's a 2000 version 6 type r. I know they bad for them but surely they shouldn't be that bad. And no it's a standard air box just with a better filter that's all. Cheers

 

Maybe double check the filter is seated correctly in the air box and if its a oiled filter make sure its not soaking with oil. Check the plug connections to the MAF and make sure the terminals are clean and fit tight together.

 

Used to have a v5 sti and i replaced mine every 12 months just for piece of mind.

where they from subaru?

As there are alot of fakes out there which do fail after a week.

Is it a CEL light thats telling you its the MAF btw?

 

Filter is seated and not soaking in all and all connections are as they should be.
Was a new maf sensor from asp up this way so I am sure he will know what he is selling.
I wouldn't mind changing it every 12 month but not every other week

 

Is it just running rough and your guessing its MAF or are you getting a CEL?

 

Ah yeah the check engine light stays on and rough as hell. Hates foot down or goin up to 4k

 

I have a v5 type r and went through 5 of them in 5 weeks. One of them only lasted 40 miles

 

Running maffless Got to be the best option..

 

A gave up and fitted a simtek

 

Yup, im running Simtek also

The subaru maff is the biggest pain in the *** in a classic

 

I want to get one now. How much are they? By any chance Chris do ya live up north?

 

Or you could do a newage maf conversion and have it mapped to suit

 

A paid £1150 supplied, fitted and mapped by andy forrest with anti-lag and launch control


Aye a live in Washington

 

That's cool. Can ya turn the anti lag off? So you are the one Kinden was saying had the bother. I work in Washington. You have a blue one?

 

I hardly use the anti lag it comes with switch. If you had it on all the time it would destroy your engine. A had loads of bother with mafs until a fitted the simtek

Mines blue with white wheels

 

Ah I seen it a few times. That's what made me decide to get another version 6. Very nice
