cancelling mass air flow sensor

jstone · 03-24-2009

can u cancell the air flow sensor with a paper clip to make it read fine all of the time? If so how do i go about doing it?

Why would you want to do that? It won't adjust to the airflow and cause the engine to run worse. If the meter is malfunctioning then you need to get it fixed or replaced. For the cheap way of skipping a repair, you could get engine damage which will cost a lot more.

Canceling out the mass air will make negative effects on how the car runs.
If you want to upgrade, you can get many different meters. Pro M/PMAS, C&L, Granatelli, even the Summit Racing meters seem to work very well.

Dont forget about the digital MAF from Abaco performance with 12 calibration settings at the turn of the switch.
