I Just bought the car last week.
When it went to look at it the battery was totally drained, bairly got it started by jump starting it.
When it was running it ran very rich and sputtered.
When i got it home i removed the plug from the Mass Air Flow Sensor and it idled better. I drove it up and down my street for a little bit and it seems very slow, like the turbo isn't boosting. Is this because it is not getting a reading from the MAF and does not let it boost?
I have a new MAF sensor on the way, should this solve my problem?


Also since the battery was drained the radio asked for a code. I have the code and entered it, but it seemed to be the wrong code? Do i have to contact the dealer to get another code?

Also the passenger side door does not open from the outside, but only from the inside.

Thanks!

 

The MAF should fix the boost. But there is a slim possibility it may not.

Yes contact the Dealer with the radio serial number on the top of the radio.

The latch might be bad on why the door does not open from the outside.

 

I got the MAF sensor today and installed it. It still did the same old sputtering and running very rich, when it is in drive it will not let it rev it just idles. Now it is giving a throttle pedal position sensor code.
When i first got the car it was giving a p1238 code.
I cleared the codes and unplugged the maf sensor.
Then it gave me an o2 sensor code, sensor 1 bank 1
and the A maf sensor code.
Then cleared the codes again, installed the new MAF sensor, ran like crap-sputtering-running very rich.
Unplugged the maf- and gave a throttle pedal position sensor code?
Im lost?
Could it be a stuck open injector?
Too much fuel pressure?

 

Is there a hose that popped off?
