Title: Usual Auto box fault
Post by Bash on Dec 30^th, 2004, 1:47pm

Hi all.

Looks like I've got the usual auto box fault.
Overdrive light used to flash and no top gear.
Tried cleaning the MAF, no result, bought a secondhand one from ebay which turned out to be black inside. Anyway, cleaned it and now no flashing overdrive but still no top gear. If I unplug the MAF I get top gear evrytime no problem, but gear changes are a little bit "Thumpy". If I plug it back in the gear changes are smooth again but no top gear. I think the MAF is partially faulty but I need to know if unplugging it and getting top gear is a definate sign it is b****red.

HELP!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year by the way....... ???

Hi,

It does sound like your MAF is at fault, but two faulty MAFs is real bad luck :(

Get some OBD done to be sure ;)

Where are you, maybe someone's close that would help ::)
