Thread: HOW TO: Reground Your MAF (mass air flow sensor)

Good now keep that MAF clean. Get inside that throttle body and mani and clean that some and that will also help.

still trying to figure out what wire on ga16. dont want to take any chances

What kind of wire do I use to ground it?

what about a z32 Maf?????

I would recommend 16-12 gauge wire for a nice thick signal. Checkout Home Depot. They have a nice selection on rollers that you can pick from.



Don't know about that Trey... That's going to have to be some research on your part. But i don't think it would be that hard to find out with all the people here that use they. But you should be able to do it also.. A ground is a ground.

Is the same wire than a SR20 in GA16 you have 4 wires (orange, white, orange/blue and green/white...in that order) You have to cut the white wire and do the same showed in the pics and beleive me it makes the difference. I hope this help!

Now some of you might be wondering why regrounding is important, and the best location to reground to.

The MAF ground is the only ground, not counting O2 ground since it used the header as a ground, on our cars that doesn't go to the ECU ground location, where it honestly should be.

This is why it is important to reground the MAF, especially to the ECU ground location.

If you have questions where to find the ECU ground, look in this picture. As you can see I have everything running up to those grounds

Maybe with that many ground wires going to one location you should consider using a distrobution block.

It's all over the place, haha, I have a wire going there and to other parts of the body.

The thing is, DC Scotty convinced me, even thought it might be connected to the ECU ground it is still is not as good as the ECU ground it self. As time goes I probably will add more wires to it

i have 3 wires instead. so the completely white wire i cut and find a good ground nearby? dont wanna sound like nusince, just making sure eveything is right. im not sure if 1.6 owners did this before.
