maybe....but what is happening here ?he put x in removed it .put it back in ,cleaned this ,replaced that etc etc. whats going to happen is the car is going to be so far out of repair you will get stuck with it. an obi scan tool is needed even a code reader would be better that poke and hope. STEP AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND PUT YOUR TOOLS ON THE GROUND

This is good advice. You might also examine the MAF sensor, I've heard stories of
used/defective units being sold on E-Bay all the time.

Ok guys I finaly got the code. its P0102 mass air low input. This is a new MAF i put in could it be messed up or what. Thanks

one type of test is to unplug the wiring to the sensor and see if it idles better

The car Idles fine. it runs excellent. The CEL is on and when I reset it or disconnect the battery it comes on immediately when I drive it.

When I first installed the IPD plenum and cold air intake with a non oiled filter, the light came on and the car ran bad. I changed the MAF and now the car runs good but the CEL comes on with P0102-Below lower limit code.

Should I get a new MAF or is this problem something else like wiring?

[extanker]

what does the repair manual say for testing 0102 ?

– Open circuit
– Short circuit to ground
– Mass air flow sensor
