DOHCEJ22E1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You cannot delete a MAF as that is one of the components that the computer relies on in conjunction with the rest of your exhaust/engine sensors to run the engine properly. Check the MAF sensor first to see if it has dirt or oil on it then check the air filter, intake (the whole thing), and all vacuum lines (plus PCV valve) to see if there is any kind of fluid or dirt that could be bunched up in the system. The MAF element is SENSITIVE. Almost anything can damage it if it's on the sensor while it's heating up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 8, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 8, 2011 You can delete MAF if you run a MAP sensor, but you're talking about having to run a stand alone or piggy back ecu...and custom wiring. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Stang70Fastback Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 There is a delete for everything... ...not all of them result in a functional vehicle though. I got two flat tires in the span of a month. I tried deleting the tires altogether but that just made things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHCEJ22E1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've deleted a few complaining passengers before. It resulted in returning the vehicle back to stock weight & much needed silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 8, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 8, 2011 Cylinder 5 on a Subaru would be the brake master cylinder.... How did that work out for you? -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 8, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 8, 2011 Your car has a 4 cylinder engine. So cylinder 5 would be the only other cylinder left...the master cylinder -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

worknlikeadog Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well here is the deal I drove my car today it really started to miss bad then shut the car off. My thought was the maf so I unplugged it and limped it home it used a hell of a lot of fuel I was wondering if anybody knew how to fix the reason my maf keeps dying. I was also wondering if there is a maf that we could cut and splice in that would last longer or give better performance Oh and did you know the Nissan maxima uses the same maf as us just saying.

I was also wondering if there is a maf that we could cut and splice in that would last longer or give better performance Oh and did you know the Nissan maxima uses the same maf as us just saying. Nissan uses some of the same stuff that we do which include: Transmission. Rear differential. JATCO is among one of the companies that also supplies Nissan with some of the same stuff as they do Subaru. A lot of fuel was used because the computer didn't know how much to inject based on air flow input, so it dumped what it could into the cylinders. Junk yard MAFs should be cheap but a brand new one isn't. Check to see if you have a leak coming in from somewhere or your wiring. Something is getting into your MAF & ruining it.

worknlikeadog Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Tell me more about nissans and Subaru trans and rear ends. Which years etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Infiniti (upscale Nissan) is funny actually. One of their sedans from the same year as our cars... if you look inside it looks like a Legacy interior that has been tastefully modified. SO MUCH of it is the same down to the steering wheel and seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
