IronWorker Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 ***Edit*** Skip to post #5 for update Dealer says "intake meter" needs to be replaced. I'm assuming its the air intake meter. I've done a thread search and have checked on the sponsors links for this part. Does it go by another name? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 maybe he is taking about the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor? steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUMan Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 In the repair manual for my 93 LS 400, this part is called the "Volume Air Flow Meter." I don't have a repair manual for the ES; however, I would assume they would use the same terminology. It is obviously the same part as the Mass Air Flow Sensor.

SKperformance Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Why do you need to change your maf? They are pretty much indestrucable and sometimes need to be cleaned only,or their is a rip in the intake tube forma broken engine mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronWorker Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 UPDATE: Took car back to dealer to verify the part - It is the MAF. They wanted $400 to replace. I have located a part for much less, but not sure if it is necessary. Should I just disassemble (using Haynes manual) give it a good cleaning and put back. I so, what to clean with?

SKperformance Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 clean it you have nothign to lose. It normally is the intake pipe not the maf causing a problem. Inspect it for rips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcpth Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Ironworker, since you cleaned it, i'm not sure if this would help... but don't forget to leave one of the terminal on your battery out to try to reset it. I usually leave it out for either 1 hr (i know you don't necessarily have to leave it that long) or i just leave it out for the whole night n go to bed... n wake up in the morning n put it back in. It should reset your computer. Which tutorial r u looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
