Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I blew out the airbox and cleaned the MAF and MAF connector with CRC MAF cleaner and then all was well.

If you clean the MAF with other cleaners (Carb Cleaner) or compressed air you may damage it and it will not work right again.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Removed, cleaned throttle body and mass air flow sensor,re installed, got good idle great throttle response, drove car approx 30 miles shut off engine,same thing all over again, no throttle rev and ruff idle,please help me

POST 2Original post

The MAF could be bad or it could be something else (fuel pump comes to mind). Is the faulty operation related to a warm/hot engine? Does it do this when completely cold? Is the check engine light (CEL) on? Any other symptoms?

POST 3Original post

POST 4Original post

What did you clean it with? Checked all connections?

POST 5Original post

cleaning did nothing, I had to replace the maf

POST 6Original post

Its also possible that you have an intermittent open, fault to ground or + with the MAF or throttle body sensors. I'm pretty sure it would be indicated in the MAF codes. What codes are you getting? You did not mention the year and model as some have an idle sensor in the throttle body that can go bad as well. I had the odd occurance of a paper part sticker pieces flying around in my intake box behind the filter which was creating havoc with turbulence and particles upstream of the MAF. I seem to recal there was a screen in front of the MAF that had some sticker material caught on it. If the MAF is not in clear clean air it will be nothing but problems. I blew out the airbox and cleaned the MAF and MAF connector with CRC MAF cleaner and then all was well. If you clean the MAF with other cleaners (Carb Cleaner) or compressed air you may damage it and it will not work right again.

POST 7Original post

Make sure your throttle body is firmly plugged into the socket wiring. I thought mine was, but would not rev past 1,300 rpm. Disconnected, and re plugged in.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
