Is my MAF on its way out?

Accelerating hard in 3rd and 4th to the red line I've now three times had the Check Engine Light flash for 5 seconds at me. Is it my car telling me to slow down? Or is it a faulty MAF, coil pack etc etc

Usually with a faulty MAF (one that needs cleaning) I get a permanent CEL indicator not one that flashes at me.

With a MAF the light usually comes on and stays on.

I think you would notice a coil pack - it shouldn't be accelerating smoothly.

hell yea slow down ! that message "check engine" is fairly obvious ! :wink:

MAF, as a faulty coil pack means the car would be very poorly....

and what ever Ade means dont get a Mk1 GT3, Mk2's are the way forward :D

Under hard accelerating the light flashes immediately after a misfire, not a dangerous (bang) type misfire more a stutter and it's make to normal.

Yes.....I'm running on V=Power
Yes.....I've got a Fabspeed CAI
Yes.....The filter's still clean.....just about!

So I've cleaned the MAF and I'll give it another go!!!!!!!

What's this about GT3s? I'm confused I'm after a 997 C4S cab in SY with black wheels so I can coiffure Sundeep's hair on trackdays :wink:

Sounds more like a coil pack than the MAF.

But excellent choice on the 997 - sounds like a great spec! :D

if you do, you need to take 3 passengers on a roof down lap of the Ring.... so we can do it rollacoaster style hands up !

If you'd have asked - I have done that for you. Plus if you let Kate drive, you would actually be scared! :twisted:

Errrr, guys word of advice......

Don't forget to reconnect your MAF sensor after you clean it, my dash light up like a Christmas Tree, ABS failure, PSM failure, Oil Pressure bouncing up and down!

Needed a battery disconnect to clear all the faults.

Just imagine, 4 up, Karossell, everyone...including the driver hands raised high now that would be a picture!
