My MAF Connector might be flacky. It looks good. Is there a magical fix to this connector. The wires look tight in it. Is there a fix without taking it apart? I tried connect cleaner already.

 

are the wires snug in the connector? can't be pulled out?. are the wires covered properly? Meaning no cracks or anything in the insulation? might try some dialectric grease...

 

They look good, I have the grease. I'll try trhat first.

 

I have seen dilectric gresae conduct voltage through some serious *hit... water included... so...

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

A new connector is about $15 from Pep Boys. If you want a part #, it's by Motormite.. here's the detail I posted up a while ago:

Of course, you want the 3-pin pigtail...

 

Thanks TomP. I replaced the MAF, it runs better, but not perfect. I think I have a vacuum leak. I'm ruuning at 14". I the old days 18-22" was normal, is that the same on these MPFI cars? If so that might be it. I checked the hoses they look good. The Purge Canister lines are very hard. Do they stay in the engine compartment or do they extend under the car?

 

hey mvftw,

didya change ur cam???

cos cam changes the vacuum...level

 

Stock Engine. What should the vaccuum be on a stock 2.8?

 

yep 18 is normal...in idle when i was stock it was like 18-20
