Air Intake with Mass Air Flow Senser???
I have a 91 Protege 323 DX. I just got my intake in the mail today. I took it over to my friend (a mechanic) to have it installed. He did not know how to bypass the mass air flow senser. Is there a way to bypass the air flow senser or do you have to have some type of metal molded. The problem was that he could not install the cone-shaped air filter and intake without going around the senser. Thanks.

Mass Air Flow Sensor
I have a 91 Protege 323 DX. Anyone know how to bypass the mass air flow sensor when installing an air intake. Is there a way to remove the air flow sensor? Is there a way to keep it but mold a special type of metal into the form of a cicle to keep the sensor and connect the intake?

whatever you do dont pull out the plug. I made this mistake and destroyed the maf. i just put on the rx7 but it still sucked to break it.

Originally posted by Protoss You need to unclip the thing to unplug it. i made the mistake of removing the screws and pulling out he whole plug. DONT remove the screws!! I managed to put it back together. I had to pop the black plasic cap off the top and the logic inside them isn't simple. to disconnect the maf use a screwdriver and pop the metal clip the runs around the wiring harness. then it should slide off. |
RX7 VAF How-To
:D I'm not flaming here, but it's a VAF, not a MAF or a MAP. It's a vane air flow meter (aka Flapper) |
i knew that was coming.....
|
you say the miatas use the same vaf's as the rx7? where can i find one of these for a decent price other than ebay? im not a big fan of ebay. and im also debating about dumping the resonator box. i hear its possible to lose torque in the low range but hasnt been proven. if i did, what would i benefit from?
|
No, 1.6 Miatas also upgrade to the same RX7 VAF that the Protege's do.
The 1.8 Miatas don't use a VAF. |
yes it has been proven it loses torque.
