MAF - Wires = Fail.

[The_Hawk]

Put in the short shifter the other day, then today I put in the side to side reduction and re-mounted the fire extinguisher (after the sub took it's place in the boot).

Went for a test drive and after hitting a corner a little hard the car started to cut out. Came home and run a scan and ended up with this:

Address 01: Engine
   Controller: 021 906 256 
   Component: MOTRONIC M3.8.1  HS V02
   Coding: 00000
   Shop #: WSC 01315
5 Faults Found:
01247 - Activated Charcoal Filter (EVAP) System Solenoid Valve 1 (N80)
            37-10 - Faulty - Intermittent
00561 - Mixture Adaptation
            14-00 - Adaptation Limit (Add) Exceeded
00522 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62)
            27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent
00533 - Idle Speed Regulation
            15-10 - Adaptation Limit (Add) Not Reached - Intermittent
00553 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70)
            28-10 - Short to B+ - Intermittent
Readiness: N/A

I immediately thought of the wires that have been deteriorating for a while now, so checked and one of the wires is completely severed.

Not long ago:


Will wire in the new plug tomorrow and clear the codes and see what happens. I would suggest most of those codes are because the MAF sensor wasn't reporting right and it was stalling. Pretty confident that is all the issue is since I have never seen any of those codes before. Although it's yet to be proved, but it's amazing how many "other" faults are caused by a faulty MAF (plug).

Always fun.
