hi just checked my codes and comes up with 1-2-1 MAF signal absent or faulty, is this fixable and whats MAF? cheers

Hey there, The MAF is the Mass Air Flow sensor. It measures the amount of air delivered to the engine. If you follow the large hose that leads from the breather box to the engine, the first sight of metal is the air intake housing. The plug on that housing is for the MAF sensor. Check the condition and make sure it is plugged in. Clear the code you retreived and you should be back to the glory days!!

hi thanks for the info, i'll have a good clean and hope it works, if not would i have to replace the maf senser or cant you bypass it or sumthing or does it need it because i cant drive it at the min it just cuts out on throttle. cheers

Yeah man you definately need that part in working order for the engine to run. If you checked the connector and all looks well, you should clear the code then the car should run fine. Car was running fine before you checked the air filter RIGHT?

hi again yer car was fine until i touched it, well i'm off to clean the plug and hopfully your right but if not can i just stick any maf sensor on off any 850's and the prices of these i saw 1 brand new off ebay 105 pound but i should get 1 from my local scrappy cheaper. cheers again

It is cleanable. So, just try that first. And dont forget to clear the codes.

Cheers.

how do you clear the codes

do a search on the 850 forum. it has been posted several times on where the box is and how to do it. if you have any problems please post. good luck.
