Hey guys need your help again, so here is the case, i didnt use my car for a week cause i went to vacation then when i came back this afternoon to start the car, check engine light came on and it feels like its almost gonna die, i thought i just need gas so i cleared the code and drove to the gas station to check if cel gonna come back, but yes i did came back and still runs like sh**t. so i scanned it again and erased the code but it came back again.By the way the code is P0103.

Read through that see if it helps

 

Your MAF is crapping out. You can pull the seal that the maf wiring runs through ontop of the airbox. Unplug the maf and start the engine and take it around the block. If it drives better with the maf unplugged then thats the problem. Try to clean it with electronics or MAF cleaner. If that doesn't work, replace it.

Driving with the maf unplugged will cause it to run a little rich, so don't drive far.

If nothing changes with the maf unplugged or after it's cleaned, it could be your 02 sensor. It's more than likely your maf, though.

 

thank you, that helps a lot, now i know where to start...i owe you one..

 

if worst comes to worst do you guys know where i can buy a decent maf? is ecs a good route to go?

Wow AEB mafs are priced in a ridiculous way. I can't find one that is reasonably priced anywhere.
