MAF readings
« on: 24 July 2012, 15:56 »
NOT SURE IF THIS SHOULD GO IN THE vagcom section or not  :undecided: but, I looked at my MAF readings today at idle, and they kept fluctuating up and down from 2.31 upto 2.86. Is this normal?

Thanks

I think a reading between 2-4g/s is normal at idle for a healthy MAF.

Thanks  :smiley:

Just to say, i have noticed that some of my threads seem to cross over into one another a bit, so sorry for that, its just they are a bit like the engines, everything is connected somewhere along the line  :laugh:
