Shoudn't the car die or run badly when the mass air sensor is unplugged? I'm trying to set my timing and get my idle right and I noticed that when I unplugged my MAF the car ran the same as it did before it was unplugged.
NO, the car will NOT die when u uplug the maf sensor. It should however run worse when unplugged for a while. If it didnt change at all, ur MAF may need cleaned out.
No, the EEC-IV+ all have FMEM. When the MAF is unplugged, the EEC goes into limp home mode and also runs PIG RICH. Without the MAF, the car is using a lot of gas, get's LESS HP, is killing the cats at a VERY fast rate, and so on.
