escort4x4 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 disconnect the battery for a lil while let the ecu reset itself. some say 30 mins is adequate enough, then plug maf in the connect battery back up, if still runs like a bag of poo then you may need a new maf mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escort4x4 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 if your car is chipped up, disconnect battery, connect maf back up, take the chip out make sure the connections is clean, spotless of any crap. then put tape over the top of it to keep it secure, then connect battery back up 30 mins later see if it makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escort4x4 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 sounds like your maf then mate, just a quick check on the maf take it off the car, and inside there should be two needle like filaments, if they are broken then that is the problem, if not it could just be cause the internals of the unit itself has failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewLX Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Was the car running when the chip was knocked out? I guess it could have damaged the chip if it was removed while powered up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort4x4 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 your chip is probably working but because of your maf bein faulty it throws everything out, the ecu will go into fail safe, meaning running a different map. hopefully it is just your maf playing up mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
