MAF contact failure

[horvathg]

Hi,

After some nice summer weeks with 35 degrees the weather in Hungary changed for the worse and its some 17 degrees with constant rainshowers etc. The first night it came, my car started to misbehave with instable iddle and gasoline spraying from the exhaust. I didn't know what this was and opened the engine bay to see if the rain was in or what but nothing obvious was there. With running engine I started to test the connectors here and there and when I came to the MAF the engine suddenly went back to normal. I disconnected, rinsed with contactspray and fine it is since. Anyone had this before?

Loads of ppl have had this problem before, i think it is quite common.

I have had this since i bought the car, good old super contact sorts it every time!

I had this prob too, there's a product called Caig Deoxit which is fantastic for sorting connection problems. I think I posted the web info for it on here before, I've had no recurrence of the problems since using it. I also fixed a CD player with it the other day that hadn't worked for a couple of years
