Hi, I’m Chris. Welcome and thanks for asking your question!

 

Step one is to get the codes. To do this you need to have a scan tool hooked up under the driver side of the dash. Most parts stores do this for free. These codes will tell you what is wrong and where to begin diagnostics or what to replace. Odds are you are going to get TAC codes which indicate you need to replace the electronic throttle body. Let me know if you get the codes and or need help with the repair.

Thanks for asking your question. Your helping me pay my bills, and I

am hopefully helping you lower your repair bill or at least informing

you of the repair needed prior to getting it fixed.

 

You are about to see our rating system. The rating is how I am paid.

No rating and I am not paid. Neutral or Negative rating and I am not paid.

I am only paid once you rate OK or GOOD or EXCELLENT SERVICE.

 

Please if you need to follow up, only press REPLY TO EXPERT.

You can also reply after rating if needed. I also ask that you do reply

and state which service you wanted to select because there has been

a problem with the rating system.

 

Thanks Chris

Spraying the MAF sensor to clean it is not a bad thing as long as the battery cable is disconnected. The MAF sensor is in the air intake tube right next to the air filter.
