OK-I cleaned and cleared it twice-twice it came back as "Check Engine" only to find the fault was "MAFS".

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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

2 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK-I cleaned and cleared it twice-twice it came back as "Check Engine" only to find the fault was "MAFS". I have seen comments about buying replacements on-line for $200. Where do I look? Thanks.

POST 5Original post

yup, i got that one. works great. all the CEL's went off as soon as i installed it.

POST 6Original post

Hey just a side note if you got an 1128 and 1130 code sometimes its the maf but in my last incident it was actually the oil cap it was leaking air for some reason a new cap and reset and it hasnt come back on yet. Other than that which P/N MAF are you looking for? e gas or non egas? What year?

POST 7Original post

That's extremely interesting. I got the same codes after changing my oil awhile back. Seemed like a coincidence and indeed it didn't seem to come back again. I wonder if the oil cap can trip those codes rather easily. -David

POST 8Original post

i bought a new cap soon after i bought the car, replaced with 01 one...those codes came after that, way after 1125 1123 1128 1130 new MAF got everything back to normal, and no more codes... so in my case it wasn't the cap for sure...
