+1 for maf. I just cleaned mine, and within the first 100 miles am seeing another ~1.3mpg. It seems small, but a number of small gains are definitely worthwhile. I have to do the IAT sensor next.

 

Is a MAF(what is that an acronym for anyway?) something I can purchase and replace easily on my own?

Thanks

 

easier even than the DV, but the FAQ thread addresses the acronyms and their indicated parts function, problems, etc

 

MAF stands for Mass Air Flow

 

you ruined my fun/lesson :-) PS, that extra mpg I was seeing, I hadnt reset my readout through the little button on the stalk, now that I have, and at least on the way back home from work today (admittedly only like 12 miles) it said the average was up to 28mpg, I would be psyched if that turned out to be accurate in the long run.

I am a blonde. It's not nice to tease.

 

That didn't hurt one bit now did it?

 

wasnt trying to tease, just direct to a useful resource :-D ummm, my mileage was bad this morning when they closed the interstate and divertered all traffic to a rural route, I love 5 mph for like 5 miles and a million hill starts as traffic slugs forward bleh :-P

 

I have the same problem in the morning and even worse on the way home.
Lot's of construction, accidents, cops. ARGHH.. It takes me 45 to an hour to get home and it's only 16 miles one way.

Still manage to squeeze out 25-26 mpg average on my little TT with the AC blastin'

 

I can now report that my gas mileage has jumped from 16 mpg to 26 mpg!

Thanks!
