CEL/Maf Cured

[Bala]

Gents,
My MAF is at end of life. I got the one from Buy Auto Parts. For the S model it was 109. Installed and drove for over 100 miles with quite a few stops and slowdowns. Car is very sluggish. No idle or hunting RPM issues, no CEL. When accelerating its like it doesnt have any power at all. I dont hear the heavenly sound of the exhaust which I used to over 4000 rpm. Disconnected and drove it and it seems it's back to life again.

Bad sensor maybe? It is under warranty but I would like to be sure before I return it for replacement. Thanks.

It's hard know, but my experience has always been that an MAF sensor either works or it doesn't. In which case, if the sensor is not working properly then it would trigger a cel.
