So for about a week my car has been sitting because it was misfiring. I replaced plugs and wires with no luck. I was about to order new coils when for no real reason i decided to check out my maf. When to my suprise i took of my filter and found this:


So the honeycomb in my maf fell out. I cleaned my maf and went for a drive. Seem to run fine and i logged it with no knock. Now i know i read not to drive without that in but why? what does that do that is so important?

 

ew not good.

Reason being the maf determines how much fuel to add based on the air flow/local density.

 

but what does that honeycomb piece do?

 

Stops large rocks that get through your filter. My honeycomb fell out too and it took my MAF with it 100 miles away from home. It sucked driving home in limp home mode... Get a new or used MAF from a member here.

 

i pmed 3 people about a new one but is it safe to drive for a few days as i have no other way to get to work?

 

Honeycomb is not for rocks - it straightens the airflow, so it can be measured accurately by the MAS. You can drive without, but metering won't be accurate, so get a new one asap.

And holy crap!!! That looks crazy!!

 

 

I like how anyone can express there opinions on open forums, but that comment is why I don't believe half the **** some people post as fact.

 

haha gotta love the rocks sneaking through your filter!

 

I no longer wish to achieve the "evolved member" status on evom

 

Thanks for the new sig!!!

 

Did you get it all or did some get into the turbo? Might want to look.

bump to that check the fins on the turbo they may be all destroyed, happened to a friend

 

took a look they look ok! thank god and i just bought a maf off another member. haha i was gonna say how would a rock get past my filter but decided just to let it go but glad you guys had fun with that comment haha

 

I should have my stock maf sensor somewhere, I am running map, so I won't be needing it. It had 27000 when it was removed in near perfect condition. PM me if your interested, I wouldn't know what to charge you, but I know they are not cheap to buy new.
