Refer to AIR FILTER OVERVIEW .

Following the information and procedures exactly will assure the Mass Airflow Sensor -G70- works correctly.

NOTE:

If the air filter is very dirty or soaked, dirt particles or moisture may have contaminated the mass airflow sensor and may be causing false mass airflow values. This results in a reduction of power, since a lower injection quantity is calculated.

Replace damaged mass airflow sensor seal (false air).

Secure all hose connections with hose clamps of the same type as those equipped by the factory.

Check Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor and air guide hose (intake air side) for salt residue, dirt and leaves.

Check the intake channels up to the air filter for dirt. If any contaminants are discovered, clean the air filter housing upper and lower section of salt residue, dirt and leaves. Wash or vacuum if necessary.

Install in reverse order of removal.
