MAF sensor & Throttle Body Replace DIY
 

Hi all,

Replaced the MAF sensor & throttle body this morning. There aren’t many photos so here’s mine:

After a back strain, I bought a back brace because of the stress on our backs while working on our cars...highly, highly recommended!

Having another stool for tools and hardware really helps the back. Back brace is a new must for me.

Why replace?

Getting codes?

Upgrade?

Yes, MAP/MAF code...

What was wrong with the throttle body?

Hi Tampa,

car threw code MAP-MAF and a throttle code earlier....after thorough cleaning of throttle body, code returned.

I never had any work done on the throttle body. For $200 for new TB & $32 for sensor, I changed both and code is now clear.

May have been just sensor, but I didn’t want to take rear apart so I did both since bumper was already off. In worse case, I have 2 new parts that I know aren’t the problem if code rears it’s ugly head...
