Mass air flow sensor (MAF) testing without dismantling 

+Saleem Kader too true, id be king of the world if i had the RU-vid and internet in my youth. i read encyclopedias and dictionaries for all my info..

I'm still learning

@@carlosrayalam2111 Hello

Adios maf and a few other fun replacements

Dennis Arterburn yep me too carb cleaner destroys this and the MAP Sensors.

u need a circuit cleaner spray can

MAF cleaner is the most expensive of the lot

Use Zep mass air flow cleaner or if you don't have thar use rubbing alcohol. That's all I use. Alcohol doesn't leave a residue so you can use it if you can get it spraying in a jet stream.

Mobile Matt Nobody cares where you got your maf, how much you paid for it, how fast it arrived or if you got rebate. This is not a shopping site. We don't even know what car you own, what engine, on what continent or country you live in.

Rude.. And I was just giving my experience.

Mobile Matt Rude or not you just gave us your experience with some random online seller, nothing to do with maf, testing, symptoms of it going bad etc...

Mohammad Mezher I'm just a little annoyed by people (mostly American's that assume that only Americans have access to internet) that just comment on where they purchased something online and how fast it arrived.

Petar Maksimovic Dude he got a new maf after diagnosing the issue after watching this video lol I too have just done the same but I got a secondhand one from a friend.

do it like this on a daily basis for 20 years now... never had one problem.

yes that the only way i ever see it done using pins....

Probing a wire like that does nothing more to expose it to corrosion and elements any more then it already is knuckle head. That's why on every car there is this fancy thing called a hood, to protect it from that. Should proper care be taken so you do not damage the pins on the harness? Yes, but they are actually quite reiselient. Some people will say you shouldn't probe wires because it can change the circuit and mess up the cars sensitive computer components, and while this may have been the occasional rare case with older analog type voltmeters with low internal resistance around 16k , with much newer digital multimeters having a high internal resistance of upwards of 10M ohms or some high end multimeters have near infinity internal resistance, these will have little to no effect on the functioning of the circuit.

I think the frequency scale can work in case of latter MAF sensor

+messer7bc that you can search for yourself onlíne for the parameter's for your particular maf meter.

Earth is British English. The USA uses ground.

Have fuel pump tested, replace fuel filter. That's a start.
