Could you post the Canadian Tire part number for that code reader?

And if you have time, could you either describe it or better yet, post a picture of it?

Who ever is making book......

Someone suggested betting on cause of my problem.

After having cleared codes vehicle ran okay in the garage. Now the sad part.

I was on my way to work today and got the dreaed flashing SES light. Car sputtered and popped alot until it warmed up. After some temp gain the car ran rough but better.

Going to the garage on Wednesday.

Who is guessing what?

Tom

I had a similar problem about six months ago. When CEL came on I bought an OBDII reader and got the same codes. I first tried clearing the codes several times but every couple of hundred miles they came back. I replaced the MAF sensor and its been clear sailing ever sense. Hope your problem is as simple.

HI,

+1 on the MAF. Definitely the right symptoms. That's my diagnosis and I'm sticking with it... Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Agreed

I agree with Jim.

I'm going to clean the MAF sensor this weekend.

I read somewhere that if it truly is the MAF you can know for sure by disconnectinig the electrical and then seeing if the troubles go away.

Hoping for an easy fix here. Cleaned and improved would be the best.

Should i change the air filter also? Seems like an okay idea to me!

I'll let you know.

Tom

Which Torx head??

Hi again,

Anyone know which Torx Security head I'll need for the MAF sensor removal?

I think'it's a T20H.


That would be the male of female driver required?
