Thread: sick and tired of this car

Have you reset the ecu as well

thats the aac valve not the iacv valve. the aav valve is more or less for start ups untill the engine is warm, the iacv is the main idle air control valve

if you mean leaving it disconnected from the battery over night and clearing the codes then yes i have reset the ecu

and where might i find the iacv? and would this maybe thro a maf code cuz it also is in the intake system?

i think i just want to rewire the maf sensor.... i have a white wire (ground), a orange w/ silver dots, and a orange ang blue wire ...does any one know where thees go?

To the ecu. Check the voltages on the maf connectors with a voltmeter. Don't rewire until you diagnosed more.

i know that i have voltage at the orange and blue one and i regrounded the white one but the orange and silver one has no voltage

Ok first off.

When you are dealing with an engine problem the number one rule is to start simple. And follow what the car is telling you.

Now so far you have been suggested to check:

TPS
ECU
Distributor
Relays
Grounds
IACV
MAF

This is nearly ever portion of the electrical ignition system on the motor save the igniter, plugs, plug wires, and coil.

Do not make things difficult.

If the ECU is throwing a maf code. Assume it is the maf. Find out what each voltage for each wire should be, and see if the MAF is functioning properly. I can see you are frustrated replacing distributors, wires, relay's, tps's, IACV's, and ECU's when the ECU is telling you it is a maf problem.

Just some advice, keep us updated, search around for proper maf voltages and diagrams. Don't mess with anything else until you do this!

Best of luck my friend.

Dudeman

Trust thats guy, I remember when he was diagnosing his own gremlins

thanks dude man... i shal do that ...also relied to day that when i do get the car running... ... if i disconect the maf it runs the same.... it is deff a maf problem
