Re: Is this a normal MAF malfunction
The main question since I havent disassembled mine is if the MAF is the air vane type or the swingdoor type. Swingdoors tend to wear out and lose resistance values at some particular point along the contact arc (earlier toyota EFI's had this problem), but vane type are pretty solid-state, and dont normally wear out. I cant really tell for sure by looking at mine but if your SVX isnt a daily driver it cant hurt to monkey around with it anyways and maybe see if some foreign debris could be in there.
