yakuza racer 16 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 ok so in order to change the maf to 4 pin i need another ecu to go with it, my question is this, is the 6 pin maf better or worse than the 4pin?i need a diagram as well, i have 5 wires running into the maf, should it not be 6?also if someone has a working 6pin maf laying around please sell it to me, these are hard to find around my neck of the woods.another question if i plug out the maf and try and start the car the doesn't want to idle, is this normal?thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Nex 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Howsit dude,not sure about the other stuff, but yes lm pretty sure that unpluging your MAF will make you car idle and run like crap. I have heard people using that method to test if their MAF has gone, if you unplug it and it doesnt run any worse then there is a prob with it so lm guessing yours is working fine Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 i had that thought as well, but on my previous vr's unplugging the MAF working or broken one the car would still idle... Link to post Share on other sites
Nex 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 hhhmmm strange maybe the MAF is compensating for something else that’s not quite right, have you hooked it up to vagcom to see if there are any codes? Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 yeah came up with 7 error codes including the MAF, cleared the error codes and drove it checked again and no error codes again.. weird anything i could check? Link to post Share on other sites
Nex 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Honestly l am not sure buddy, there might not be anything wrong, but on the off chance that there is I would check through the usual suspects, O2 sensors, vacuum pipes, temp sensor, give the throttle body a good clean ect.. sorry l can’t be more helpful/specific dude, my knowledge is not as full as some of the folks on here lol Link to post Share on other sites
