what are the rpms before it dies out?

also, did ya slam the battery down on a harness?

fyrrixes · 03-30-2008, 09:07 PM

friend, reading thru posts, quickly what is a MAS that is near the battery?

wonton · 04-01-2008, 10:43 AM

sorry to write you. my car is starting, then shutting down after a few seconds. looking for siliar problems on here you said to someone...maybe the MAS was unplugged during a battery change.

its the thing that attaches to your airbox/filter its by the battery it has honey cone shaped holes on the inside of it. mass air flow sensor.

anyone? ive been researching it alot. looks like it could be a fuel issue ignition or my maf.

Hi there, sounds like from you description it is cutting out because it is too rick. It could be a number of things so let's start a list of things for you to check. Start with the simple thinks are all the air intake pipes and hoses in good condition and correctly connected. Is the return line for the fuel back to the tank free. Check the fuel pump connections and the fuel pressure. If both are OK have a look at the idling stepper motor, make sure the throttle body is clean and that all the connections check out.

Most problems do not require the replacement of expensive components like the mas

Do you have a manual for your car so that you know the correct readings and settings?

fyrrixes · 04-09-2008, 08:19 PM

no i dont. and what is the stepper motor?

fyrrixes · 04-25-2008, 09:17 AM
