Re: loading up at idle

Unless I have my sensor initials mixed up, there is no MAF (mass air flow sensor) on a 1994. There is, however, a MAP (manifold absolute pressure sensor), and it is a small black rectanglular part that bolts to the upper plenumn and has a couple of wires plugged into it, IIRC. If I'm wrong, sorry, ...

Re: loading up at idle

i had the dealer check the codes,they say egr was bad or clogged. i took it off and the pinicle valve is not stuck open.so should i buy a new egr or can it still be cleaned ? when you shake it up and down it has a slight rattle to it.

Re: loading up at idle

i think i might have made a big mistake. when i changed the thermostat i degreased the map sensor and hosed it off,and let it air dry. i hope i did not damage the maf. how would i know if it is bad?

Re: loading up at idle

when i bought it,the temp gauge barely went over 100.i put in a new 195 thermostat and it went to 180 - 190 range. it has heat now and gauge is working fine.it runs alot better now but still loads up at idle.i don't know what engine it is,has the spider intake throttle body at front of motor.
