Mass Air sensor
I was really mad when I found out that the mass air sensors made by autothority (msrp $2000) are made right in my own backyard in Detroit, MI.
Any body ever put one on thier car? I have conflicting reports about drivability and running problems. By the way the mass airs for mustang ( made on the same line as autothority's by Pro M) cost about $399. I hate those Mustangs!! |

I have had one for 3 years. It's great. No problem except plugs that need to be sealed. Mine is a Powerhaus.

Powerhaus claimed 22 more hp from the mass flow. My total system is a K27DR turbo, MAF, higher fuel pressure, extrude honed intake, chips, and a ported/polished head. The MAF also included a cone KN air filter (no one seems to be able to agree on them as to whether they are good or not). I also have a good head gasket. The DR was an option on the turbo that was supposed to spool it up faster and provide a little more boost. I have been satisfied with the setup. At PCA events, there is little that will pull away in a straight line. I have known other people who have had great difficulty with MAF's.
I really like the MAF. It is very smooth. I have had trouble with its connections (male-female plugs). They seem to get dirty and cause rich running. I clean them every year and keep them taped. I guess they oxidate, changing the resistance and screwing things up. |

Maybe you should use some of that dielectric grease that was mentioned in another post on the connectors.

Conducting grease is a possibility. Another possibility is a product called Stabilant 22A manufactured by DW Electochemicals in Ontario, Canada. It was developed for sensitive navigation electronics for the aircraft industry and for bio-medical stuff. IT IS EXPENSIVE. Next time I have some cash that I don't know what to do with, I'm going to try it. NAPA has it or can get it.
Has anyone tried it????? |
