    Have I just stuffed my MAF sensor???

    Hi everyone

    Changing the air filter today on the v8 and decided to clean the MAF sensor while i was there. Used crc MAF sensor cleaner.
    Now the car won't idle and sounds like its dropped a cylinder?

    Can someone here shed some light on this?

    Cheers everyone

    I'm not V8 but your symptom is pretty much on par with a death MAF on a Td5. With a Td5 when you plug in a dead MAF sensor, it will drive like a snail, on the other hand it will rocket without a MAF sensor on (but likely high tempt on somewhere).

    P/S: I might be a bit too high on the word "rocket"

    Honestly though, still can't believe the amount of aftermarket support available for these cars. It's absolutely fantastic. Was able to get a brand new maf sensor for $200ish on a Saturday morning half hour drive from home. Gotta love it
