Hey everyone, hopefully someone can help, I’ve recently replaced the MAF after low power symptoms and the can now runs 90% better. My only gripe being “bad” mpg (33.9 on long stretches). I’m not getting any lights or codes but I did notice that my intake temperature is -37 according to Torque which is clearly wrong. My car has the MAF/IAT combo (no separate IAT sensor). Any other way to test it other than Torque?

Thanks!

Hi, Knemfusion,
Very strange …I had similar thing happen à year ago today….!!!!
Had hesitation problem, DTCs on my AP200 suggested faulty MAF sensor….I sent for new Hitachi OE unit , fitted it, but car ran worse…..checked on live data…had -39C reading…..! Refitted old unit, car ran better.
See my posts…Home/Technical—-1st subject…page 27….
The only thing I would say is : if your only gripe is mpg 33.9mpg that’s not too bad…..34mpg is pretty average……
It would be interesting to check with another ‘ known to be good ‘ code reader….

Cheers, Pete FL2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto MY 2012— current
D2 TD5 HSE Man MY 1999 470kmls….gone 2014 ….lovely engine..chassis rotten
D1 300TDI Man MY 1996 56kmls….gone 1999…D2 much better
Wife’s FL1 1.8P MY 2001 32kmls …gone 2007…has Mini since.

Depends on whether 33.9 mpg is average or what you expect on a long run. I’ve seen over 40 on really long trips but the running average overall was 33 to 34 mpg.
