rio180 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 Just got this car last friday, Subarus are completely new to me.Regarding the maf sensor what does this do and what problems will the induction kit cause,it was already on the car when i got it.But i do have the original airbox.Any imfo would be great as i am trying to find somewhere that will fit a clutch thrust bearing without breaking the bank.

Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) is a component of the electronic fuel injection system installed between the air filter and the engine. The MAF sensor is used to measure the amount of air entering the engine. This measurement is used by the engine computer to calculate proper amount of fuel injected into the cylinders in order to provide optimum combustion and low emissions. A contaminated MAF sensor can cause a wide range of various vehicle driveability problems such as stalling, especially when the engine is cold, misfiring, poor acceleration, etc. HKS induction kits seem to carbon up the measurement wire more than others.

bobbyc Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I bet that wasnt off the top of your head bobby thats way over my head Rich I'll stick to gas turbines lol
rio180 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 Met a gritter on the way to Turriff,he was coming towards me It was like driving through a sand storm.Peppered the front of the car chipping the paint in loads of places. even slowing down to 40 made no difference. This p***k was going full tilt.You expect gritters in the winter , but not at this time year. Would i have a right to complain to the council about this and would it get me anywhere.Only had the car 8 days. Anyway on the positive side , the problem i had with the clutch,turned out to be 2 missing bolts on the exhaust heat plate.
