RE: > My Car Just Died At The Gas Pumps....

most of these reply's sound much more accurate than this is going to be, but my girlfriends v6 was pulling the same code's ( + a few others) but i had replaced the 02's not to long ago so i started checking some other things. i took the MAF out and cleaned it with electric contact cleaner and bam all but one code went away. now the only code is the dam evap cntrl valve[:@].
So the MAF might be worth cleaning since it only takes like 5 min anyway.

That was actually something that I was told to do a few weeks ago when I was just asking about the codes. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I'd assume, that a dirty MAF, wouldn't kill the car, would it? (Considering that if that is the cause of the codes, it is still not dirty enough to effect the idle, which is smooth)
