would a bad Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor cause the same problem as a def maf. i ran codes and got a def chts, and not a def mas.

test both

MAF.

how would u test the chts

Use the FSM

and if dont have one . mr.non answer man. for some who answers post so fast with non answers u must know it all!

download the FSM for free from any of a number of sites. Search, google is your friend. Saying you don't have the FSM is no excuse when its readily available all over the net.

When my MAF went it behaved just as you describe.

CHTS 99% of the time does not cause this. Extremely misleading and annoying. Check the wires going to the MAF, then replace with a good known one.

thanks 4 the directions.

so today i go to run the codes again , but 1st i try to see if the problem still exists, lo and behold all is well , codes 23 a/c and 31 ing switch.but the car runs like a bat out of hell and rips threw all gears up to 85 mph .wtf no more 2100k and out! any sugg3estions are greatly app

I have no idea what you are saying.

As above.

sorry , let me try to restate. yesterday i ran the codes in the morning and i had a no chts code ,just a 23 code -a/c, and 31 code ing switch . the rpms did not stop at 2100 andthe car ran great. is it possible that maf has a swinging trouble, iam @ aloss on which way to goand looking for some guidance. thanks

It could be bad wiring, corrosion at the AFM harness connection, or an intake leak.

hmmm , thanks ill chk.

Did you find your problem yet?

no and its back

DID YOU REPLACE THE MAF??????????

Or do any testing for that matter?
