I'd say colt's got it.. I had the same thing in my honda accord except much bigger. It took up the whole corner of the passenger front bumper.When removed, I insantly had a race car

You can remove that without any ill effects. Just make sure you plug the hole well.

Your ECU may be bad with the idle issue.

That makes a lot of sense, Charlie.

I make a bet that a usa spec maf will fit your engine. Pre obd2. Anybody want to help this guy out and send him one off a junker. Pretty small package and light, so should ship cheap. Might be a good idea to compare part #'s first.

This maf is a karmann vortex type, and the sensor uses ultrasonic waves to count the number of vortices in the intake air. Vortex generation/count is directly proportional to air mass flow rate. If the ultrasound sender or receiver windows are dirty, you can get a false air flow rate to the ecu. A careful reading of the fsm may get you a reading range for the maf outputs at idle and some higher rpms. I think there's a digital/analog converter on the maf pcb that converts vortex count to a varying voltage signal to the ecu.

I will foot the bill if you can find and ship one at a reasonable price. I will be forever grateful!

This is the sticker on top of mine.

Is this worth having a look at?

hold the phone......

did the clean and so far so good (touch wood). No more hunting. will let you know how she goes

to-do list

- check rear gate switch - it's causing a flickering dome light over bumps ( where is this switch? I've looked and not found ???)
- replace bearing for viscous fan pulley - it's screeching <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
- front and rear diff oil change
- gearbox and transfer case oil change
- fix leak on gearbox side cover
- change engine oil and filter
- have A/C charged

I have a pulley squeel ( very intermittent ) and the only one it could be is this one as it still squeels with A/C belt and PS pump belt removed.



Do I need to buy it as a whole or can I have a bearing pressed in?

Thanks

For the price its probably easier to just replace it.

Also, did you replace your timing belt pulley? those wear out faster than most other pulleys I see.

yes. Brand new oem. This was the old one.
