MAFs

 Carl: The stock maf was pretty temperature sensitive, so much so that buick added the manifold temperature sensor (yes, I know they put it in the air filter and not the manifold but they called it a mat) and only used it for maf correction.

Confirms the frequency range and flow limitations of the stock system.

Thanks Earl- ah yes, our former forum host mocking the MAF tap test.
I'll choose to believe Ken Mosher and my own experiences.

I'm sure clear silicone played a part in there some where

Ah fuck... I was mobile when I posted that link - the phone's owner does stupid shit from time to time.

The problem with the Tap test is that most folks hit it to hard.  If it isn't bad before the tap it is often afterwards.

I always thought it odd to beat hell out of a sensor to 'test' it.

Then again if it's really close to failure, I'd much rather finish it off in my driveway than out in the wild.  One is an irritation, the other is a wrecker bill. (and I'd rather buy a translator than pay for a wrecker)


Yet another reason stock MAFs belong in a museum instead of under the hood.
