Hey Jayasc,

So I removed the sensor, cleaned it with the cleaner that I got at the auto parts store and reconnected it. Drove about 2 weeks and the service light is still on. So, if the sensor is infact bad, can I replace that myself? I looked up the part number online and theres a big supply of this part. Is it as simple as, removing the other, switching this one back in and im good? Or does it require more to it and a trip to the shop?

 

Yes, it's as simple as that. Unplug and remove the old sensor, install the new unit and make sure to reconnect the wiring the harness and you're done.

 

Without a fault diagnosis tree and some more evidence, I wouldn't just start replacing expensive parts.

Was the scan tool used the Mistubishi MB991958 Scan Tool, I wouldn't take the Autozone code at face value.

I am attempting to attach the service manual diagnostic pages. Obviously you won't have the official scan tool, but it does have the diagram detailing the expected voltages/ohms to check against before spending $75-150 bucks on a new one.

Hope it helps, cheers

 

So I ordered a new sensor on eBay. I matched up the part number and made positive that it's compatible with my 07. It arrived, I took the old one out and put the new one in. Went to fire it up and it won't even idle now. It sputters for a second and promptly dies. I put the original back in and it started up. Any ideas?

Thanks

 

what happens if you try to start the vehicle with no MAF connected? Just trying to determine if the ebay MAF is working or not.
