Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows if I can install a slightly used MAF (mass air flow sensor) that came off a 1996 disco v8i in my 1995 disco v8i. Please note that he 1995 MAF part # is different than the 1996's. Thanks. |

The 95 is an OBD 1 system; the 96 and newer is OBD II, so no you can't- the specs are totally different.
They are very reliable- are you certain that is the culprit ? |

Thanks Doug, that helped. As for whether I'm sure or not, it's the dealer who told me that the MAF is bad, he also said that if I buy the MAF and the problem is not solved, it will be their problem. |

Put a dvm over the first and last pins on the connector to MAF (may need real 'pins' to get in there). Ign on, not running, should read 1.5-1.9V. start it, should read upwards with increasing throttle to about 5V, and move smoothly. There is a alloy plug in a hole covering an adjuster for the base CO setting - higher V= higher CO, more fuel consumption.
What problem are you trying to solve?

Thanks for your input JP, I'm having a problem with fuel consumption, the car makes 8 mpg, and black smoke comes out of the exhaust when I press hard on the gas pedal while the car is in idle. |
