I have fitted a new maf (due to a huge flat spot and testing using the unplugging the maf with no change) and seem to have another issue..the car tries/does stall (revs drop to 500rpm for a second before picking up or stalling!) when coming off the gas but usually it settles again within seconds (I will state this is the second gsf maf I have fitted as they replaced the original when the stalling started)
I did a code scan earlier this week(prior to refitting) and it had no codes....and today after fitting it came up with
00516 Throttle Position Sensor - Closed Switch -F60
I have cleaned the code and I have disconnected the new maf (it feels dangerous stalling!) and the new scan confirms
00520 Volume Mass Air Flow Sensor -G19ig70
Should I reconnect and see what codes show? or does the 00516 give enough info on where to go next?
-
has 00516 come back yet?
prior to last weeks scan and 00516, when was the last scan?
When my TPS went I would loose acceleration and revs would sit at 1100rpm, no matter how much I dipped the throttle - even releasing the throttle!
I never had vag com back then so didn't find what the code was.
With the new maf plugged in do you get any codes?
-
it gave the 00516 with the new maf plugged in...and she was back firing with this connected! I scanned on Thursday with the old maf connected and it had 0 codes, then i scanned today after fitting the new maf and it came with the 00516 (with the maf plugged in...I erased this code) and then i rescanned with the maf unplugged and 00520 showed up only
I am going to plug it back in and subject to it not stalling all the time i will give it a good drive and then rescan....

Ross Tech's wiki has nothing on these 2 codes

:sad:
How much is a new TPS for your car? Mine was between £50-£80 depending on the dealer, I got it on ebay for 1/2 that :grin:
