***08 mini cooper no turbo***
so my mini starts stalling at red lights. i get it home. next day start it up take it for quick ride around the block. still dying. unplug maf drive around the block again. not dying and its running much better.
so i assuming as most would (i think) that its the mass air flow sensor. I tried to clean the maf out with maf cleaner. put it back in after it dries. rough idle and then it dies. try a few more times.. same thing. rough idle and then it dies.
Time to get new maf i guess... I get used one from guy who wrote off his mini. he says it should work.
clear engine codes with ELM327 wifi odb2 scanner. it does seem to clear all codes (no more check engine light and all codes seem to be gone)
put newer maf in. turn on car.. rough idle and then it dies. tried a few times. every time is the same. (this is the same thing my old maf has been doing now)
tried to put old one back in. still the same thing. rough idle for a second or two then it dies.
so at first i assumed that the newer maf just doesn't work. but then i noticed that the check engine light hasn't come on at all...
is there another problem? shouldn't one of these maf's if they are bad triggered an engine code and the check engine light??
