Rotating MAF, will it help?

[Skoobie]

Took the car to a shop to help diagnose all the various crap that wrong with her. One suggestion the guy made was rotating the MAF to try and help smooth out a choppy idle. I hadent heard about this, has anyone tried it? Get any results?

Yes. See the Sticky at the top of the forum " Help me create the Surging Idle Checklist" for help with your idle problems.

Yeah I took a look at that, great thread. The only referance to the 'clocking' was one guy rotating it 180deg...that seems a bit extream. Does it matter wich way you rotate it?

No.

Try clocking it at 90* increments. Find the best spot and then tweak in by clocking it in samller increments.
