This is the only code stored?
hi cardoctor 69, can u tell me what more information do u need ?
I just need to know if there were any other codes stored?
NO, ONLY ONE , THANKS,
Check the blue wire with the yellow stripe at the back of the connector of the sensor these break all the time let me know if it's broken.
THEY ARE NOT BROKEN ,THANKS
Ok has the mass air flow sensor been checked? Was there any work done prior to this happening?
hi, cardoctor69, a lot of sensors volts behave funny, especially maf, let me list them, maf-------------engine idling-----flucuating between 14.1v to 181.8 mvmaf-------------2500rpm-------------14.2vmaf-------------ignition on------------12.04vearth----------ignition on--------------7.42vevap valve-----ignition on-----------8.4mvegr-------ignition on temp 0 degree-------12.2vegr-------engine running 100 degree------14viat--------ignition on----------12.21v ,i will double check them ,thanks
Honestly I would start with the maf sensor next .
hi, cardoctor69, i put the maf sensor, light is on, what else u can think of , please tell me what to do next to solve the problem( warning light still on),before i pay,thanks,
