MAF+disconnected air inlet...

[MarcoCapone]

It may seem weird, but I was checking if I had a dead plug (by unplugging the coil one by one while at idle) and when I tried to check the one under the air inlet, I tryed to disconnect the air inlet from the throttle body and the car stalled!!!! Is it normal that the car die if your disconnected the air inlet from the throttle but you dont disconnect the MAF????? Does the car detect no air flow and stop shooting fuel????

It is normal the MAF thinks no more air is flowing so fuel is cut.

Wait till it happens when you're driving Scary feeling to say the least.

+1 - with a blwoer its the best. you hear a "BOOM!!" the "PSHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and the car stalls


but by disconnecting the air tube, you basicly disco'd the MAF from tthe motor. motor vacuum stops pulling air thru the MAF -> no MAF reading -> no fuel
