Maf sensor help

[lanceneoman]

My car has been dodgey when cold for a while, bit juddery when slowly accelerating etc. i went to have a revo trial on and they could because it was coming up witha fault on the maf sensor. so i disconnected it before starting it when cold and i didnt have a problem, what will it do driving without it connected?

it will run rich and eventually damage the cat. is it undriveable with it connected?

no, don't drive it with the MAF unplugged. I've just found that my MAF sensor is knackered. Mine isn't juddery when cold and doesn't seem to run badly, i just have the light on the dash permanently lit up.

Going to have to buy a new one from GSF or Euro Car Parts soon as i don't want to the CAT up.

Just drive carefully until you've replaced it.
