New MAF Sensor

I am not trying to be rude bu I don't understand why people here don't listen to what is being told to them. You need to have your engine smoke tested and look for any vacuum leaks. If nothing is found then REPLACE the MAF and reset the codes.

I chased the same problem for 2 months. Found a common air leak in the Oil filler tube. That did not fix the problem with 1128 and 1130 so replace the MAF and have not had a CEL for 3 months now. Running better than ever.

actually was rude. some folks need to read the question. my latest just asked if it was normal for the light to go off and on and then off a few days after cleaning. never went off prior to cleaning w/o resetting code.

Cool Reply

I do truly apologize. I didn't mean to be abrupt, but people come to this site most times looking for answers to problems they are having. I too use this site for that purpose and education. The previous 2 people said to replace the MAF sensor. Cleaning usually does not work or is very temporary. That is only my opinion.

I would again smoke test the car. At least it eliminates the possibility of it being a vaccum leak before you spend the $200.00 on a new MAF.

I again i am sorry for being direct.
