You’re a badass, Thanks for the video it was really helpful diagnosing my Ford fiesta can’t thank you enough.
I wish I had a dad like you!
Awesome!! Glad we could help! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your stupendous results, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Another great video. You're one of the best automotive resources on CZcams.
I've said it before but it needs to be said again, I've been a mechanic for 30 years and still learn a trick or two from your channel.
Thanks!
Bruce we truly appreciate that specially from a mechanic with your experience if you could share our channel anywhere and everywhere we truly appreciate it as well have a great day my friend
Will do. You have a great day too.
Bruce L. thank so much :)
Thank you for showing this video Sweet Project Cars. I also experienced the same thing last year but did not know why it happened and continued to send it to the mechanics. The mechanics say that the fuel injector needs to be changed but does not look like new. and now after being shown by Sweet Project Cars it will save my money in the future if the same thing happens. Thank you very much Sweet Project Cars....the best teacher here...millions thumbs up
Spozz. Thank you very much we know we mix are videos up a lot but we’re giving all our good subscribers like yourself have a great archive of information so you’ll never have to pay anybody to do anything on their car again have a great night my friend.
Wow! What am impressive diagnosis!! My hubby and I just changed the injectors on our 3.5L Maxima.... You're absolutely right....Those seals do get hard.
Thank you very much, Rochelle! We appreciate the view and comment, have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
WATCHING SPC CHANEL HAS ADDED A LOT OF MASS TO MY WALLET!! Thanks a lot guys...this works on carburetor engines like motorcycles as well!
Thank you Tyler you’re right it does work on carburetors and motorcycles have a great night my friend love the pun as well
One more very informative video. Thanks SPC. Keep up the good work. More and more power to you. 💪😎👍🏼
Thank you Edwin we truly appreciate it if you could share our channel anywhere and everywhere we truly appreciate that as well have a great night my friend
Another helpful video! Sound advise on finding something that can be very frustrating without videos like this to find the proper culprit. Keep on posting!
Andy Long thank you so much, and all of us here at SPC's thank you very much for being here, if you could do us a favor and *Share Our Channel Everywhere You Can,* that would be awesome as we want to get the word out to the world that good people like you can DIY on most all the issues they have with their cars and trucks :)
My sir you are truly a good mechanic. You went straight to the problem with common sense and no drama. You saved the owner of this '07-ish Yaris a lot of diag & money!!
Thank you very much, it's our pleasure to help. Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
When I replace something like my injectors I try to go OEM which will run way over $100.00 for all 4, so knowing the injectors themselves were good, what I did was get a kit with all the seals, o-rings and on mine, new screens. Worked like a charm for under $50.00. A lot of times especially when someone has messed with them before they don;t take special care when installing them and pinch the seal (like on yours) which will end up with a fail. Another great video... Always a big THANK YOU!
Dano thank you so much for sharing my friend great information like that helps everyone have a great night my friend
Aunt Barbara adores you!! 😚
Hello my good friends, This video will hopefully help you test your MAF Sensor and how to help you locate a vacuum leak. We found that with a little time you can save yourself a boatload of money doing this work by yourself. Have a great day :)
OMG!! I seem to have learned something new again,,DAMN you can teach an old dog new tricks!!! Thanks spc! Awesome as always 😎
Sweet Project Cars Hey SPC! Can you show us how to get rid the oil and fluid leaks that our friend’s car left in our driveway???? It’s a problem !!! Thanks!!! 😊
Ed Smith you are very welcome my friend :) glad we could help
Thank you for another great "no bulldust" & straight to the point video. It's so easy to get caught up searching in the wrong direction when fault finding on modern engines, that we often overlook the most obvious and easiest things to check first that could easily be causing the problem.
Tim Areskog you nailed it my friend :)
You make it simple and correct.. as usual.
Your 13000 mile away fan :)
Free Soul thank you free soul, we appreciate that and are extremely glad you are here with us :)
This is valuable video thanks for the idea how to find air leaks by carb cleaner and for the idea that air leaks could be from the injectors, so thumbs up for you
great info, I have used this trick myself a few times. Sweet Project Cars needs a TV show
Thank you Wayne we truly appreciate that my friend it means more to us than you know if you could do us a favor and share our channel anywhere and everywhere that would be awesome
Saving 300-500 IS SWEET! Thanks Captain!
Leonardokite thank you very much, my good friend, if you can share our channel that would be awesome as we want to get the word out to the world that good people like you can DIY on most all the issues they have with their cars and trucks :)
Many years ago my Grandfather used to use a plumbers soldering torch (unlit!) to find vacuum leaks. A very gentle flow of butane and the engine would suck it in a leak and usually raise the revs. I've also used a can of lighter fluid!! Not the safest of methods, lol!! Great video as always.
Cyclone Cyd thanks for sharing this my friend :) have a great day
I once had a lean on bank whatever error with my 2006 Chevy Colorado with nothing in the codes about my MAF functionality and it turned out to be a bad O2 sensor. Just goes to show how these little tricks and a decent understanding of how you can disconnect stuff or spray things in certain places goes an awful long way to diagnose something. Of course, having a $500.xx set of service manuals always helps, too! (Something I thankfully bought for both my truck and my 2008 Saturn Sky Redline.)
Thanks for the video.
Wolf thank you very much for sharing and you’re very correct in your comment thanks SPC Mike
Your video is very easy to understand and to follow instructions. I have the same problem with 2013 Ford Edge. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks so much!

Stranger Danger thank you very much for that kind comments my friend :) and so glad we could help you
Thank you.
@@SweetProjectCars are you certain pulling the MAF will keep the engine running if it's bad? I'm mean if its not working why would the engine be running?
easy beautiful l tip for finding the vacuum leak. Thank you!

I had some black soot or dirt on 1 of the wires on my MAF and I cleaned it, not sure if it is the sugar pill affect but my mileage went from 20.11 to 21.4 MPG but it was almost the end of the tank also. Hope it improves even more after this fill up.
My OBS 2000 Tahoe limited had the light on. Replaced the vacuum line and I guess that fixed it 🤷🏻♂️ Always read Misfire p0305
You were a big help thank you

I love your troubleshooting the maof sensor, your explanation was extremely simple, just disconnect it and if it turns off, you know it's good. So simple! :-)
Glad it helped Lance! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment, we really appreciate it, have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@sweet project cars will the MAF cause a service traction light and service esc?
2017 Maxima, mil lite on, runs fine. When you accelerate hard, traction and skid lights come on and the vehicle bucks. Pull over shutdown engine, wait then restart all lights go out accept engine light. What good the issue be ?
Great video thx!

Muy bien. Te felicito
¡Muchas gracias! Agradecemos mucho la vista y el comentario, espero que tengas una excelente semana. Mike loco
When you vacuum leak check with Carb Cleaner or other, use the straw on the nozzle. It will help you pinpoint where the spray at the suspected leak source. If you need to extend it, use a piece of clear vinyl tubing. You want the spray source as close as possible to the item you are spraying. The spray will be more dense (spray fans out with distance) and easier to see the exact spot that's leaking that way.
If you ever have to change 1 injector seal, change ALL of them.
Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great day. mad Mike & team
Nice bro
thank you very much spc mike
Great video! Did you change the fuel injectors? Will this trick work in every car or just some?
Michael Valone yes we installed new injectors and the problem was solved, vac leak gone...this method works on most all cars and trucks my good friend :)
I just got done dealing with a P0101 code (MAF). After changing and checking all I could it ended up being a bad battery. I had an Oddsey battery and it had enough power to start the truck but not enough for the “brain” to operate. Swapping the battery solved the problem.
Thank you very much for watching and sharing, we appreciate it my friend. Hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
NIce!
Thank you very much, glad you liked it, MarzNet256! We appreciate the view, hope you have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Nice
I have used either to do it.
I have used it for years.
Tuna Fish great to hear that thank you so much for sharing :)
Hello . When you do that Sweeeeet opening I know really want to perform a whole song. As for the leak issue, very interesting. A few weeks ago I tried the test on my car , but didn't think about injectors, which had been played around with a while back and could have been a problem. I never identified the issue so the car has left my life for good. Never mind. I know now for the future . C
One thing people forget Colin and I do as well those seals take an intense amount of heat stuffed down there into the motor it doesn’t take them long to dry out and dry rot that’s why we soak them in 303 now AnyWho thank you so much for being here with us it’s always a pleasure
Always silicone paste all O-rings. Press & twist connections together. When in doubt of age, or if over 6 months old- never reuse O-rings. A spray bottle of plain water is safer, and just as effective- to help find vacuum leaks.
HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP thank you so much for sharing, and all of us here at SPC's thank you very much for being here, if you could do us a favor and *Share Our Channel Everywhere You Can,* that would be awesome as we want to get the word out to the world that good people like you can DIY on most all the issues they have with their cars and trucks :)
Great job I always seem to rum into an issue like this!
Kathy Lewis thank you very much !!!! and we are so glad we can help you with most any issues :)
Sweet Project Cars I've used some of the on friends vehicles as well we are like 2 broke girls so thank goodness for guys like you with knowledge to share! Lol!
What was the issue you were having with your car, the issue I'm having is my truck starts but takes a few seconds crank I'm thinking fuel pressure is bleeding off through the injectors via a bad seal. I changed the mass airflow sensor truck ones better but still have the cranking issue. Awesome video by the way thank you very much!
Sounds like either your injector controller has taken a dump or your fuel pump has taken a dump or your injectors all decided to not do their job at the same time. These are the 3 things that are most likely the culprit, one or all of them. Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike
Not BAD!
Glad to help! Thanks for your comment and for watching, we appreciate it! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Sweeeet!
What if when I pull out the MAF sensor sometimes my car stops and sometimes it keeps running? Could it still be an issue. I have no check engine light on, but my car will randomly die at stop lights and will start back up as soon as I put the car in park and crank the key. Would appreciate any help. Love the vids btw!
Sounds like your mass airflow sensor is starting to go I would replace that and then I would check all the wires and connections on the female part of the plug-in hope this helps
Great video can you do a video with A QG15 ENGINE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maybe one day Kevin. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I have a good one for you. 97 ranger 2.3 won't idle and pings when you gas it. Only code is for heaters in both o2s , replaced them and cleared codes and they came right back. Also replaced a bunch of other stuff. Still won't idle .
Hello Terry that wouldn’t tell me and I could be wrong that there is a timing issue with that vehicle and hope this helps
My 93 Pontiac Grand Am GT with the 3.3L V-6 when put in park will surge from 500 rpm to 1000 rpm but when put in drive it goes away and drives fine until I stop at a stop sign or traffic light then idles rough until I give it gas to go. Sometimes it will stall when I stop like it's not getting enough gas. I cleaned the MAF senor but still does it. Could it be a vacuum leak or maybe some other senor I'm overlooking. Thanks for your help and love your videos.
If it only does it when it's in drive, just leave it in drive LOL. Did you use this amzn.to/3MjGFIu and only this when cleaning your MAF? Also, make sure that your air filter has been replaced. You will also need to use this here amzn.to/3VX5rRT use the whole bottle on half a tank of fuel. We are doing these things to rule out the least expensive problems out of the equation. If doing these things does not take care of your problem, use this amzn.to/3LOiiRO and this will tell you what codes you are pulling up, once you do this let us know what codes you received and we will get you pointed in the right direction Kelly. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars I will Thank YOU.
Hi, can we use intake cleaner spray to check vacuum leaks just the way you sprayed around the hoses ? Thanks
When you are doing that, you want to use something very potent, this amzn.to/30hfYic is the stuff that will help you find vacuum leaks. Thank you for watching and asking Shane, have a great day my friend and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
i drove my dodge caliber with MAF sensor unplugged sor about an hour :D im going to change it, for about one year im receiving p0172 error and had no idea what is it havechanged the half of the engine electronic oparts lol... Thankssss

I would like to know what spray you used. I am going to try this on my car. I have had mechanics diagnose not really. I will come back with results 💪
We used these Carb Cleaner amzn.to/2IbaUkt &
Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner amzn.to/3qzQ969 Thank you for watching Cecilia, have a great week and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Does that apply for 2004 BMW X3 3.0 - that is, when you pull the MAF plug the truck will turn off?
Thank you for your knowledge. 06' C/K 2500HD . I replaced the Mass Air Flow Sensor with one from Auto Zone and cleared the codes, no more MIL . Today it came back. I unplugged it and the idle changed but it kept running. what do you think I should do?
I would say you need one of these amzn.to/3PBL9ur with 10% OFF CODE :T9BRFI99 Plug this in and it will tell you exactly what you need to do Brian. It's way more economical than going to a repair shop my friend. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week and all the best on your project. mad Mike
i'm curious,why if you unplug the MAF and the car keep running or not it tell you is bad or not?the MAF isnt acting with the car anymore ... i wonder since i have a 2004 volvo v70 r having idle issue and very high consumption fuel,i have 2 obdii code "p0507 and p2187" and i believe is my MaFsensor, i have change all vacuum line and do spray test on manifold,injector etc with out any effect and if i unplug the mass air flow the car keep running but very ba,confirm probly your point ,but just wondering why lol , thanks you nice video btw
ratselop best thing you can do in your situation is to replace the MAF then you will know for sure also run a really good injector cleaner like this amzn.to/2qI4RNB
Extremely helpful video. Had past codes: PO442, PO 316, PO303. Noticed bad idle and minor misfire at cylinder 3 at idle. Installed new PCV breather Hose to intake (Vacuum Leak at intake boot). Engine Light went off and so far has stayed off for 5 days...Still have minor misfire at idle?? No engine light is on. Cleaned MAF but still have misfire at idle. Wondering if Cylinder 3 has issues: 1--possible bad spark plug or 2---possible injector problem? Will try your Spray and see if i notice any idle changes/ Thank you for the video. This issue is driving me nuts.
I know it’s unlikely you’ll respond seeing as it’s been 3 yrs but I’m having this exact issue rn and I can’t figure it out so if you ever got it resolved some guidance would be a godsend
do you have a way to clean rubber floors like in mini trucks that didn't have carpet ? how about bed liners ? it can't leave them slippery but also look like new ?
cody my friend we use this to clean all vinyl and rubber as well amzn.to/2zQhnwO mix it 50/50 hot water hope this helps my friend :)
After changing the head gasket... All she needed was an idle adjust, and cleaning. I check the MAF by retarding the air flow and if the motor dies your good.
My truck is so old, I ripped out the O2 sensors and it doesn't care. There's no current going to them any ways.
Good video

Its not throwing a code but when i pull the maf plug it stays running. This is after installing a brand new one. Wondering if the plug is bad
Is the maf test a reliable test because i did It today and my explorer stayed running and also found i have a vacuum leak around intake manifold. Id appreciate the response, thank you.
Hey buddy! Ss always great channel!!! I have a question for you if u can possible help. I have a code for the same thing. I removed the sensor harness as u showed here and the car kept on running like it wanted to turn off but it didnt go off. Does that mean i need a new mass air flow sensor?
Jose that is a great indication you need a new mass airflow sensor hope this helps my friend have a great night
Thank you thank you! Keep rocking with your channel man :)!!!
you are very welcome :)
Mine keeps running thank you so much
You're welcome! Have a great day, thanks for being here with us! mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hi , is the test working on diesel engin? I follow your instruction on my volvo xc60 2011 witch I got the same fault but in my case: air flow too high, I try to remove the stick on air flow sensor while engin running but the engin still running. then I try to start without connecting air flow sensor and the engin start as well. Should I conclude the failure on air flow sensor?
it just maybe but check with your repair shop first
Is it better to use OEM injectors or reman"s??? Can I use TB Intake cleaner to check for vacuum leaks??? If car has dual mass air flow sensors do I have to unplug both???
luis lopez you have many options in parts so we say use what you can afford. most any flammable spray will work for checking leaks,
If Car has dual mas air flow sensors do I have to disconnect both??? Thanks!@@SweetProjectCars
