Bad MAF relay

I found a bad MAF relay and I'm wondering if that could cause the car to die sometimes and not start for 15 mins or more? Or when I turn off the car like when putting gas in it go back and it wont start for 15 mins or more?

I don't know what relay it was, burn off or the other one but it was located on the divers side firewall a little lower than the other one and its closest to the fender. what relay was it?

Re: Bad MAF relay

Sounds like it. When a relay gets hot it will stop working and if the top is brunt that is it

Re: Bad MAF relay

The only way to determine which relay it is would be to identify the wires connected to it by color.
