Is there anyone down the Rockingham way who can lend me a" known working correctly" 2001 WRX Air Flow Meter. I just need to try it out in my car for about 15 mins of driving to see if its the problem in my car= Missfiring,hesitation,bogging down , before I fork out for a new one...

i would,

but i am afraid it would come back missing some sections off the front, poorly painted and sikaflexed up

Hey bud I've got one on a 2004 wrx. Not sure if they are the same but if the are I'd be more than happy to help u out.

Same

Fellow member Anthonyglew was nice enough to pop around tonight,I borrowed his AFM for a 10 min drive about and the difference was noticeable right away!. Definate accelerated much faster than before,didnt hesitate on take offs or splutter about BUT still had a bit of hesitation Mid Rev Range??.


I got home put my old AFM back in,went to drive off and a CEL Engine Warning light comes on?, I hooked up the scanner and it says" Mass Flow Air Sensor Low Voltage" ,its never done that before?. I cleared the code took it out again for a slow drive and no error came up again????.

Ive parked the car up and off to buy a new AFM tomorrow

Cel confirmed you got dodgy AFM
Did you clean it with electrical contact cleaner

If for some reason you cranked or tried to start the car without the afm plugged in then yes it will throw a code . sometimes the code gets stored in past memories.once you fit the new afm clear the ecu of all codes and it will be fine

Yeh guys I did clean the AFM last week with Electrical Contact Cleaner and it changed nothing.

I never have cranked the car at all with the AFM off,twice last week I used the scanner and no codes or pending codes came up at all.. I'm now concerned I might have done internal damage to the motor, ie running lean from dodgey AFM though ,Ive not been thrashing it about but still......
