Cel!

k20prsi · 12-07-2007, 03:54 PM

On my way to work I was stopped at a redlight and when it turned green I slowly get on it in first and around 5000rpms the car bucked like if it hit fuel cut off and almost stalled. I then noticed the CEl! Manual says that it may have something to do with emissions, possibly o2 sensor? need help! and yes i am aware of the warranty. so please dont tell me to take it in. it has been schelduled already.

Check the MAF wiring connections .... did you do some kind of air filter checking ?

***portabuddy*** · 12-07-2007, 04:00 PM

none volitile engine fault related to the MAF sensor for sure, reset the car by removing the battery leads for 5 min then drive it for a while if it comes back go to your dealer and have them scan it...

never have heard of that.. i have an appointment in the morning to check it first thing.. tonight i will remove - wire from battery and hook it back up and check....

Congrats! You've already made an appointment with your service center tomorrow morning!

If your goal is to turn off a light on the instrument panel, by all means "reset" by unhooking your battery tonight and cancel your appointment with the service center.

But otherwise do yourself and them a favor and *DON'T* treat the symptom. DON'T reset by disconnecting battery leads. Let them diagnose the problem tomorrow.

Was telepathy for sure LOL

And ... it maybe the filter itself .. look for posts about the K&N drop-in .. also check if with your stock air filter you don't have that problem
