People,

I have a problem in my ford focus '01 zetec 1.8 16v petrol.

The Dashbord DTC , show the code P103, accordind TIS ford , this is MAF problem,and my mecanichal plug the scanner in the car, and here the maf have a low voltage.

I tried to clean the maf 2x but nothing changes.

Ok , I bought a new maf , and the things get worst , the ilde rotation is worst the original and "dameged " MAF.

A afraid the my PCM is dameged .

In brazil a don't find good manufactures of MAF , the E-KLASS MAF i bought doesent work.

Here in uk and europe, with manufactures of MAF we use. 

I very unhappy with this, because i did a good service in the car ( timming belt kit, acessories timming belt kit , oil , revision in the hydraulic steering , brake fluid , new fuel pump ) but the maf problem is very boring to me.

 

Anyone can help and had his problem and how do to fix it ?

Ford Brasil, don't produce anymore this part foi my car, because in brasil afte ten year the car discontued the manufactures doesn't have the obligation to built parts , and de paralelal parts in a lot of case don't have a good quality.

If you have replaced the MAF sensor but are still having problems regarding mass air flow then get the wiring loom to the maf checked out out. 

I have been having a problem with MAF for about 1 year now, with the wiring to the MAF. swapped over the wires again and now the engine light will stay off ( YAY !!) But it is lacking power as though in limp mode, so maybe it just needs continually resetting until the engine light stays off but I have swapped the wires back and the engine light is on again for now but should be sorted soon once and for all.

Good luck

This seller says he can send to Brazil for £10.50 postage:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FOCUS-1-6-1-8-2-016V-1-8TDCi-ST170-Mass-Air-Flow-meter-Sensor-98AB12B579B1B-/301366195213

I have no experience of the seller, only what it says on the website.

But I would further investigate the wiring before buying. Usually, these units have a +12v supply, two ground (0v) pins, a flow output signal, and a temperature output signal. Back-probing the pins on the connector should reveal which is which, and if that does not confirm a fault, I would test it on a bench with a psu & meter.

I will do this test with my mechanical , The seller i bought the MAF from E-KLASS will send me a new maf to test. My friend will borrow me a original MAF in supbert condition to test to.

 

I will report the situation soon,

Thanks a lot people.

 

People , 

I tested the new MAF and the problem persist.

Next week my mechanical will look all the systens to find the issue.

In the scanner reading the MAF reading is blocked , displays 1.75 , the normal maf have to display 3,75.

The journey continues.
