X-Type - Mass air flow sensor clean

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Excellent demo of how to clean MAS on diesel Xtype. I've recently purchased the 2.2d and it runs wonderfully. I'd like to keep it that way, so have been checking online to see what the common issues are, and, more importantly, how to avoid them. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

I dIsconnected the MAF and the car kept running. But when we re-connected the MAF the car shut off on my 2005 Jaguar S Type 3.0 6cyl So what's the possible prognosis? Thanks!

Not sure, I didn't run mine with the sensor disconnected, I didn't think the computer would be happy with no signal? Do you have an OBD reader to check the codes? Assuming the sensor is nice and dry, it's probably worth checking the connectors are fully snapped in place they can be a bit stiff. If the computer has been compensating for no signal it might take a little for it to re-find an optimal air fuel mix? I can see similar symptoms for other cars: www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-1st-gen-1993-1997/253165-maf-cleaned-car-now-stalls.html www.reddit.com/r/mazda/comments/xflxbt/car_wont_idle_after_cleaning_maf_sensor/
