Anyone have a diagram of where the MAF is? My car feels turboless and it's throwing "16487" (more)

"MAF Sensor (G70): Signal too High"

I'm thinking of taking it out and saoking it in alchohol as some have done to fix MAF errors - any other suggestions - the car feels totally limp.

Default Blah, blah, blah!! Thanks Taner - so I take that apart and there's this little MAF in there? And (M)

soaking that in alchoohol will fix my baby? Ok......

I need to take a mechanics course or something so I can learn SOMETHING about cars - I'm likely to remove something scary and soak it in alcohol and then start my car and blow it up......

Default lol

more pics are <a href="http://www.taner.net/pics/s4/MAF/">here</a>...

like I said, you can either take just the sensor off (the hex(I think) nuts) or the whole sensor assembly - undo the hoseclamp and then two snap-on clamps...

taking the sensor out is probably "easier" in the long run - you won't have to deal with the damn rubber o-ring...

Default Take the whole cylinder out

and dunk that in alcohol. Let it air dry. Just don't blame me if it doesn't work. But that what some peeps have done.

No, but I bet it would be an interesting experience - how could I put my MAF on weed? :P
