3S-GTE JDM 3rd Gen Turbo Engine Just joined, MAF

Captginyu · 05-02-2009, 03:55 PM

Hi everyone,
Just joined and already have a question. I have a 91 3sgte. To make the long story short, I had the car since 2000 and had everything rebuild with all upgrades. My car has been sitting in a repair shop for about 2 years, I fired up the car after new battery, starter. The car fired up and stopped. I figured it was the MAF sensor. I borrowed one from another car and it fired right up and was running perfectly after a 5 year motor project.

Does anyone know how to make a replacement MAF sensor?

how to Make a MAF?
honestly you should just buy a new one. i am sure there is a way to make one, but it would be very time consuming researching the electrical specs of the potentiometer and the contact points that make up such a sensor.
My advice would be to hit Aaron (te51levin) up as he can get a good price on parts, and just bite the bullet and buy one.
good luck, oh and welcome to the forum by the way

Not trying to be a **** but from now on it might get more reponses to post int he Gen2 turbo section of the forums. This is the Gen3 section and we don't even have MAF sensors.
