Bex000 10 Posted November 25, 2011 Hi can anyone tell me if they've had problems with the connection to the air mass metre on a VR6 94 reg and what they did? The car seems to lose power when accelerating out of lower gears and I'm not sure whether this is a related problem or not, but changing down gears it just cuts out!!! Help!! ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted November 25, 2011 Exactly what mine was doing (N-reg so 1995 manufacture). On mine one of the end wires had got metal fatigue and fallen off - the previous owner had fitted a cone filter without any mounting bracket, so its weight was making the MAF bob up and down and the connector suffered. I tried to get hold of a connector off a car being broken but it turns out there are at least two types and I'd got the wrong one. To fix it in the meantime, I cut into the back of the MAF connector with some side-cutters until I exposed some of the wire and then soldered the loose bit of loom back on, with a bit of heatshrink over it to stop it getting wet. I keep meaning to sort it out but it's still holding up fine months later! I can take some pics later if it would help? Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bex000 10 Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks for that! Some pics would be excellent as I have it booked in to be fixed on Friday and the addition of a few pictures might make me look less like 'rip me off central' ) I've been spraying contact spray to the corroded area for the last 6 months which seems to work for a while then it resurfaces. Anyway thanks again for the help! Bex ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
