Default RE: lean lean lean HELP!!!

dont give up your maf sensor might be getting hung on the contact panel . i have had this problem . if you are good with tools you can remove the top of the maf with a small screwdriver and idle the car up to see if the needle in the maf sensor is hanging . you can touch the needle but it will have an affect on the idle of the car if you move it to much . it will go back in place but if it hangs you need a new mas sensor . if thats not your problem try a map sensor or the o2 sensors that can sometimes have an the same effect .

How do you tell if the MAF needs ot be replaced? Mine is blackened on one side, but is that to the point of replacement? or will it be fine?

Well you should try cleaning it first, dont use card cleaner or TB cleaner use electic contact cleaner. i didint really know if the MAF was my problem i just change everything els and MAF was the last thing i could think of, and it fixed it. You can do a search on the web how to check for a bad MAF, but mine seemed fine but it wasent.
