rsg69 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 My Maf sensor is bad on my 89 quest is there an upgrade or where can I find replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 There are upgrades like the 1G turbo DSM maf & GM maf with a maf translator. If your mostly stock your better off getting a good stock maf sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboboost Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Would the 1g maf go right in or do i need to cut wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighterpilot Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The 1g maf is "plug & Play" but you have to be aware of the fact that your otherwise OEM STOCK Starquest engine will run richer cuz the Starquest OEM EFI computer processses it's input signals differently than the 90-94 Eclipse/Talon/Laser TURBO ONLY EFI computer consequently throwing the fuel maps off. This has been documented innumerable times over the years in the archives here on SQC. I would suggest that you get your Lady everything that she can be using the OEM Stock Factory MAF using http://www.starquest...showtopic=66449 After she is running great OEM Stock, only then would I would consider going to the 1 G MAF. Why throw more crap in the game by installing a 1 g maf? For What It's Worth. KEN PS I don't understand WTH is going on with all of this underlining. Tried to get rid of it, but for some reason I can't in edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 My car never really ran right with the 1G maf sensor for some reason. Using the stocker now with good results until I go with the GM maf with translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCillini Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 IS there a specific test to verify the MAF is working or not? I tested the ambient temp sensor by using a hair drier and multimeter and that checked good. According to the manual it states if that test passes, the MAF is good. My 88 now runs since I fixed the timing, and I installed the OEM MAF the PO had even though he installed a talon turbo maf. I verified he didn't change the wiring order at the plug. When the vehicle runs, it runs at a high idle, tach isn't working right now so I dont know the RPM, but i would guestimate 1500 ie or more and very rich. I can keep the car running by bouncing the throttle quickly and sometimes WOT to keep it running. As soon as I stop, the engine dies. I am going to pull codes if I can and start testing TPS, ISC, and related components. Other experience suggestions would be appreciated.

TexasQuest Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 The only way to test the MAF is thru the ambient air temp sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCillini Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) The only way to test the MAF is thru the ambient air temp sensor. I thought thats what I had read - the MAF could only be tested by the ambient temp sensor. both the OEM and the Talon one tested good via resistance change with a hair drier. Is it possible something else untestable could be wrong with the MAF? Next is the harness angle. will get my meter out and see if there are any codes in the system. The engine runs and runs real rich, but wont idle at all. I am also looking at the TPS/ISC reset and possible stuck injectors.

TexasQuest Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Check your maf harness on the car. Over time they can get brittle and crack, exposing the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCillini Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Verified the MAF is working the old fashioned way - by unplugging it. Car dumped enough fuel to have it dripping out of the vacuum ports. I let it evaporate and the car is back to its original problem. TPS/ISC reset is next on the list. . . .
