if the maf goes bad, it would default to the Failed maf VE table... the same table the car runs off of when you unplug the maf.

can you please get me a copy or a hold of that letter.
Ford is fucking me over bad. Now there expectign me to pay for the maf.
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - ZX3TUNR - 08-16-2005
So now ford is changing there story and saying I need a o2 sensor replaced and not a maf. Will WTF. I just replaced my o2 sensor and percival ford covered it under warranty even with my a/f gauge spliced into it.
Bennot wont cover me warranty on since the a/f gauge is hooked up but s**t. Percival did it. Me and my dad know for a fact they rather have me spend money and they just dont want to replace a $300 MAF.
Any way back to finding a used one. If I find one im driving to ford and telling them there stupid fucks and a kid with no car knowledge (my self) figured it out before them.
Worst case scenario. Car gets traded in as is.
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - smith21 - 08-16-2005
jay, just go to ford, take out your maf, test drive a used 2003 focus, swap maf's and then replace when u get home :P lol..it'd all be in good faith
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - darkpuppet - 08-17-2005
the MAF won't cost you more than a $150...
hit up fordparts.com and get it.... the part itself is cheap.
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - ZX3TUNR - 08-17-2005
well ford quoted me $140 for o2 sensor witch I ended up buying and quoted me $300 for the MAF
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - ZX3TUNR - 08-17-2005
Will I picked up a NGT o2 sensor from Cubed for about $118 and bam :D its fixed...so far lol
Took the car for a rip and oh man does it feel good having the 130hp back lol. No more back firing with the stock tune either.
I think my muffler and manifold leaks had a factor in it.

I wonder if that my car problem. Its is going back tomorrow to the dealer because the engine light is on again. I'll have to reminder them of the TSB.
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - ZX3TUNR - 08-17-2005
I couldnt find the TSB.
But the tech told me the one reason why my gas milage sucked. I was running in a safe mode for about a year LOL. Causing more fuel to be used and this was what was causing all the backfiring I had. Sounded sweet while it lasted lol

glad to hear your rides back to normal jay, hope nothing else goes wrong
Zx3tunr Focus Probs. Update 08-12-05 - ZX3TUNR - 08-17-2005
was a good summer for probs. First is was exahust leaks everywhere lol, vacuum leaks, maf probs and finally the last consisted of a new o2 sensor.
Oh well I got a few extra mafs sitting here now for next time lol

I ran both DPFE tests and they both passed so there fore my DPFE sensor is still good.
Any way I cleaned the MAF again plugged it back in and took it for a drive, Ran like absolute s**t and no CEL.
Came hope and I removed the harness from the MAF. (Idea from DP) and pretty much ran with no MAF. Took it for a nice drive and seriosly the car ran perfect except for the idle. No stumbling at all.
So me and my dad are pretty convinced my maf is burnt out or just facked or the wiring harness now like dp and flo mentioned.
What do you guys think?
