  1. new maf scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I will update the string after i install it and test it out. Thanks again for everyone's help. Rchizz
  2. Loren, By shorted you mean the MAF is bad, or is there something else that was shorted out?
  3. First of all thanks to everyone the replied. You guys are what make this site awesome. I have checked the part # and it matches my old one as well as the number Loren provided above. When i unplug the new unit the car does start. While i did purchase this unit on ebay, it was from what i deemed a reputable seller with a ton of feedback on MAF transactions. In addition the box did come with a seal and it is a bosch product for what it's worth.
  4. DC thanks for your reply.I gave it another try and was able to start the car while the MAF was unplugged however if i plug it back in the car will not start.
  5. Hello, Hopefully someone where has some ideas on this one. I replace my MAF on my 01 996 C4 and after unplugging the battary for 50 seconds my car will not start. I'm getting power from the battary an my lights and radio work however it won't turn over. I have unplugged the new MAF and attempted to start the car with no luck. Has anyone else encountered this type of problem? Thanks, Rodney
  6. Update: I have completed changing out my spark plugs and checking the coils. I didn't see any of the damage that other members here have described. I saw know noticeable cracks or damage to the coils. The plugs had some discoloration. I talk the car out for a test drive and while it drives better then before the new plugs, however it is still sluggish especially when attempting to accelerate fast. Help?????
  7. Hi, thanks for the quick reply. It is a US car. I have checked the three coils on the passenger side and they look good. I plan to remove the other three on the driver side tomorrow. Which electrical connectors are you speaking about? Yes all the 02 Sensors are still in use, however my mechanic may have connected them incorrectly when installing my cats. Could that cause the problem?
  8. Hello, I'm fairly new here and hoping to find some help. I have a 01 996 C4 Cab and i just had a new set of Max Speed "Fast Cats installed by my local mechanic. When i picked the vehicle it was running really rough. I got the following CEL codes: P1133-02 ADAPTER P1126-02 Bank 1 P1325-Cam Bank 2 P0300-Random Misfire P0304-Cylinder 4 Misfire P0302-cylinder 2 Misfire P0301-Cylinder 1 Misfire I have attempted to clean the MAF and i didn't notice any difference. I also tried unplugging the MAF and driving the car and again i didn't an difference. I'm now in the process of changing my spark plugs and i have removed the passenger side of the coils and thus far i haven't notices any damage at all. Do i go ahead and purchase a new MAF even if driving the car without it didn't show any improvements? Do i need to uplug the battary and then drive to car after the codes are cleared to see if there is any improvement? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Rodney
