o cleaned my maf and now my car does not run right it threw a p0102 and is running rich sometimes when just cruising what happened

 

Why again did you clean it out?

 

i felt like it

 

Good enough for me.

 

did you put the maf back in properly and what did you use to clean it and did you let it dry before you put it back in?

 

yeah i put it back in right i bought maf sensor cleaner and i think it was completely dry but i didnt drive the car until like 3 hours after i put it back in

i dont get it

 

hmm stupid question i know, but have to ask. did you handle it with car as those things are quite sensitive to drops and sudden sharp movements.

 

anyone

 

You may have used the wrong type of cleaner......a lot of maf cleaners are NOT plastic safe and should not be used on our cars......The maf wires as you could call them on the inside of the sensor have a clear coat of sorts on them.....the wrong type of cleaner will destroy this clear coat and basically ruin the maf sensor.......i know here in canada a standard can of maf cleaner goes for about $8-$9.......the plastic safe stuff is around $24 a can so that might tell you if you have used the wrong cleaner.......just my 2 cents........Later

 

how much is a maf i think mine my be messed up

where can i get a maf sensor

 

you can get a maf from the dealer but from what i remember they are a few hundred bucks. i work at a dealer by the way

 

i just ordered 1 for 65

 

where from? oh and i looked up what the p0102 code is and its a dtc for the maf sensor circuit low frequency so ya something got messed up when you cleaned your maf.

 

i ordered it from an auto parts store by me

 

nice.

 

i have the same code the p0102 and a p0103 code, but i didnt get those codes until i installed my HID's any one got any suggestions.

 

I would say you buggered up the wiring some how.
Check all your connections you made and make sure they are good.

If you spliced into any wire which ones and what color might help to figure out what is going on.

 

i fixed it, it was the little sensor on the actuall SC it had some residue on it.
