Trying to troubleshoot the P0300 DTC code. Engine starts easy. Runs pretty strong with just enough rumble/vibration to let you know somethings not quite right.
I was told by the seller that the MAF sensor was bad. Bought a new one and installed it. Made ZERO difference in how the engine runs.
I have found that with the engine running if I disconnect the MAF sensor plug the engine doesn't seem to run any differently. No surge, no stall, not shutting down, nothing, nada, zilch reaction.
The question is: ==> What SHOULD be the running engines reaction to unplugging the MAF from system? <==
I normally get no MAF related codes but if I unplug it I DO get a MAF related error shown so at least THAT part of the system appears to work.
Still doing other stuff to track down the p0300 problem but was hoping for some insight into the MAF's lack of influence on the engine.
