MAF HELP !!

if you where to clean your air intake with armor all spray on the out side
can that cause your maf to break ?

i got code 34 after cleaning the out side with water and soap and spraying
with armor all .. is it sucking in fumes of the armor turning on my check light ?

Re: MAF HELP !!

your maf wires may be coated with the armor all and not getting a correct reading. try cleaning it off first with a maf spray cleaner and see if it fixes the issue

Re: MAF HELP !!

My book shows a code 34 as the vacuum sensor circuit. The recommended solution is to:
  • check wiring leading to terminals 20, 21, and 22 of the ECM.
  • Check the connection at the ECM.
  • check the vacuum sensor wiring and connections
  • replace the vacuum sensor (located on the firewall to the right of the brake booster)

Re: MAF HELP !!

HANG ON! The revision section of the manual shows code 34 for MPFI V6 and V8 to 1989 as the MAF sensor.
  • Low airflow indicated.
  • Check terminal C on the MAF sensor. It should be about 0.5 volts at idle and 4.7 volts at WOT.
  • Trace the wire from terminal C and look for a short to ground.
  • Replace the MAF sensor.
