OK after a New MAF the car, she still wont run right.....

Attached is my diagnosis procedure from the bible, can you guys look and see if I'm missing something. I grabbed my posting from NEO, and Ill paste it here because this is exactly what happened before the car went ka-putz.....

So I'm on my 5 mins drive to work, but get sidetracked by some suped up new mustang, had Cobra wheels or something, sounded not-stock thats for sure.....So we rip one on the 417, those familiar with the east end, we went from the police station to jeanne d'arc where we exited, had a quick chat, and i went to work late driving the 5 mins back because we went 5 mins past lol.....

I parked the car and let it idle down like normal. This was at 1430 and i go to work until 2100. I leave work, after a really busy nite, so I'm slightly frustrated, then I go start the car. Seems fine, try to drive off...BAM 2500rpm chugging...After the intial chug, it begins idling at around 1800....wierd.....

MAF problem, still in the mall parking lot, I check my SAFC and its gettin 0Vs....thats not right.... Wires all connected, etc, so I unplug my SAFC (After reconnecting the MAF wire), same problem, check the wiring, its all intact, still connected....

I aint towin' the car again, so i figure I drive it limping home cause it's only 5 mins, and magically, about half way there I notice its idling at its usual 850 or so, so I give'r...Its all good..... Next day, dead again...where she remains, except this time with a new 330$+shipping MAF yay!

Now...I havent had any issues yet with this plug, and one would think by looking at it that its obvious. (Sorry, on have the camera on my RAZR so...) I posted in the Classified section for someone with the same plug I could buy to eliminate that. I already resoldered the entire ECCS C/U blue harness becuase the one I got with my engine was hacked...and also missing a MAF plug, see the classified post for info on that.... So sick and tired of problems...I picked fast and reliable, not cheap...but it aint reliable

Thank you so much

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
