MAF & MAT (IAT) sensor testing
MAF & MAT (IAT) sensor testing
MAF on my '87 2,8L V6 gives constantly 2,6V voltage (between B & C wires). Does it means, that my MAF is dead? I have tried one MAF from junkyard, it gives the same voltage.
What is resistance of MAT (IAT) sensor on your cars? To example @ 20 degrees Celcius? On my Camaro resitance of MAT sensor was ~2,5k ohm. Is that OK, or too low?

I'm not sure if you can tell if a MAF's bad by checking voltage... I believe the MAF puts out AC voltage and varies the frequency. I'll look in my GM book tonight to see if it mentions such a method. But anyway, here's my MAT resistance chart.. you'll have to scroll down this page to see it. For some reason, whenever I post a table, it shows up 5 or 6 lines below where it should.

Thanks alot, TomP! I didn't know, that MAF varies freguency... My Haynes says, that it must change voltage between 0,5-4,7V.
But what about O2 sensor, if it shows ~0,25V below 2500-3000rpm and about 0,7-0,8 over 2500-3000rpm. If rpm drops below ~2500, it gives again 0,25-0,3V. I have measured that with warm engine, with voltmeter, not at driving. Is my O2 OK?
