I have a 2001 Audi a4 1.8t the stock MAF when to crap so I replaced it. Found a deal on line for like I believe around 60-75$. Replaced it code went off but still ran like crap. I putting in my new n75 today and forgot to plug in the MAF and the car ran beatifully idle eccelerating everything.

So my question to you is why is this? Is the MAF i got a pos?

Looking forward to your help thanks!

Sounds like it to me. Are you sure the MAF you got was for the right engine code? AWM MAF sensors are pretty cheap on ECS, I've been running one for over a year with no issues.

 

You know I'm guessing it wasn't and im pretty sure I finally found the problem I'll have to look up the ones on ecs

Thanks!

 

Also does it matter how much you pay for a MAF?

 

Just bought the 109$ one. Let's hope this works. Btw tyvm again cca4 you've helped me on a lot of stuff :P

 

No worries homie, just tryin to spread the knowledge. The $109 one on ECS is the one I've been running for over a year

 

Man, you guys can get new MAF sensors for so cheap... cheapest I have found mine anywhere is $165. Bought a used OEM one (for a spare) off Ebay for $25 shipped and it works, so I can't complain too much

 

Do you live in the states metal?

 

Yeah we can't get him to leave

 

You'd have to pay me more than I'm already making to get me to leave
