MAF Connector Issue
This doesn't look right to me and I need help fixing this issue. My car runs sluggish at operating temp. However for the first five minutes of driving it runs like a champ no sluggish movement my voltimeter reads 14 and as a drive along it get's more and more sluggish until I hit 12 volts moving and sometimes 10 at stop lights. I believe that my MAF connector is the issue
I've already cleaned the MAF and changed the air filter and disconnected the battery. None of these things helped me out. |

Re: MAF Connector Issue
Yeah it's reading battery volts, I just thought that this connector might be the reason I'm idling so rough. Any ideas?

N.B. i.e. presuming that you are reading voltage from MAF connector terminal (1). --- The alternator bearings could be binding, an internal short circuit, or whatever. MAF terminal (4) should register a low voltage of say 1 - 2 volts at idle, this being the signal circuit. Terminals 2 & 3 are ground connections. Terminal (5) is not used and this will enable you to determine the numbering sequence. No more ideas, sorry.

Re: MAF Connector Issue
Thanks Trevor I actually figured that out a minute ago. So this may be an alternator issue. Should I just get a new one or fix that little sucker my self? I just want my car to run healthy

Depends on your electrical knowledge and mechanical experience. You will need a fairly hefty soldering iron, and if as it appears likely, the bearings are shot, a puller. If the armature is damaged, you can write it off. An exchange reconditioned unit from a reliable shop, is a good bet.
