testy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 How exactly do I bypass the MAF in my car to add a different intake so It doesnt stall right when its started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If it's a SPFI, unplug it. The engine will run like poo, but the PCM's limp mode works well enough to keep it running. If it's plugged in, it won't go into limp mode and it won't run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testy Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 It is SPFI. Can't I just trick it to so it thinks things are all good? Or somehow put the sensor in a different tube? Reason is I want the filter right ontop of my intake. The rubber boot is so soft that it closes when i hit the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 nope, no way to trick it. Just get a new boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 You cannot bypass the maf sensor, your car will not run. You could get a boot to go between the tb and maf, and then a nissan maf adapter and non oiled cone filter and install it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 replace the piping between the tb and MAF with something solid....like PVC (yea, laugh all you want, but it'll work). but if the ECU doesn't know how much air is going in (via the MAF), it won't know how much fuel to use.....which will cause many problems.

testy Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Cool. The nissan MAF adapter, is it the large piece of alluminum? I just dont like the Suby MAF because if funnels the air down to a hole the size of a Twoonie. Maybe the nissam MAF would be bigger, who knows.

Gloyale Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 By chance has the *Subaru FI* plate been taken off off you're intake boot? If so that's you're problem. That emblem helps stiffen the tube. Just get a replacement intake tube that is intact. Or press and glue back in the old emblem if you still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm not meaning to use a nissan maf. What I'm talking about is an adapter that bolts to the stock maf, and allows use of conical type filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
