MAF Sensors

vtec to vvel · 02-15-2020, 09:21 PM

My car randomly goes into limp mode when starting her up (I’ll shut her off and open the driver door and this always takes out of limp mode) and I get the MAF sensor code on the obd 2 scanner.

I was able to get around cleaning both MAF sensors tonight. For the two screws per sensor, I noticed they had to be “broken” off loose (they made a snapping sound right before being able to turn them loose). When putting them back on, do they have to be tightened to a certain point? Or as long as it’s on there good, should it be okay? I’m asking because I didn’t notice any gaskets and didn’t want to experience a vacuum leak. I def. won’t be using a Philips head driver in the future, as the metal seemed soft and borderline stripped the top of the screws.
