Always check the How-To Documents! There is alot in there. I am hoping to get the new system up and running very soon. It will be easier to use and be easier to find things - I think.

I bought my SVX in December. I drove it from Detroit to Houston with no problems. After a while the car started to die for no reason, on the highway and at the stoplight. If you revved the engine you may keep it going, but most of the time not.
I changed the fuel filter, fuel pump, both water temp. Sensors, cleaned MAF, swapped with known working MAF (wouldn’t even start). Nothing worked, it still would die whenever it wanted to. I thought maybe this car was possessed, like the old show My Mother the Car staring Jerry Van Dyke, but no this is just a machine. I thought maybe it's the TPS, so I bought a new TPS and took it to a Subaru dealer to have them swap out with the old the TPS. They ran a diagnostic and it said the problem was the MAF and it would cost 500.00 dollars if they could find a new MAF. They said that they would go a head and change out the TPS for 95.00. I sad never mind. Remembering the second part of cleaning Your MAF, I took the top off of the MAF and took the MAF to a local electronic repair shop and showed the man what to re solder according to the instructions. (I took a copy with me.) One minute and 10.00 dollars later he finished. I replaced the MAF and the car has not died on me ever since. |

Manta!
That is wonderful!
Thanks to all that give us the great input from the dedicated people on this form that keeps us in business when the dealers can't! Congrats on a job well done!!!! Keith |

Your scheme of going to an electronics shop to get the soldering done, very clever, very cheap, and a very good tip for the members at large. Nice one dude. Joe

Should this be done as preventative or regular maintenance, or would it be a good idea to just leave it alone unless the engine starts to have troubles?

The solder joints get loose due to the extremes of temperature cycling under the hood over time. You question is good though. This is something that, at the price, I would immediately consider doing if I got those cutting out erratically symptoms. What would you have to lose? Joe EDIT: But no, I would not consider touching it as a maintenance procedure, unless I got the symptoms. Leave well enough alone, don't cross bridges yadda yadda

I bought MAF cleaner in a spray can.....

The soldering thing is a different ball game but With my doner MAF still working, because it is an extra one, I will probably go into it and re-solder it to get a leg up on a possible problem. But that is just me. Keith Last edited by kwren; 04-12-2008 at 01:02 PM. Reason: spelling (of course) LOL |

...known working MAF If you swaped it with a "known working maf" and it still didn't start ...... I am guessing that that "known working MAF" was NOT working
