need to clean maf sensor i think

[Ryan1985]

Yeah your AFM will be caked in oil! I got that with my pipercross but I got the AFM replaced under warranty, obviously after putting the original airbox back on etc!

Could be that.. but hes using a K&N FILTER??

take Battery off and leave for 2minuets replace Battery

Reset ECU.

[breezer]

k&n for yaris is a wet filter

[yaris-on-18's]

right is the maf sensor the thingy on the side of airbox that u plug wire connector into? if i reset the ecu will it notice the changes made with filter and exhausts and correct the mixture?

[Ryan1985]

Yes mate that is the AFM and I still think the engine check light will be on after you reset it!

And ALL K&N filters are of the wet variety!

[yaris-on-18's]

so how do i get rid of the engine check light? is it important or can i just drive about with it on?

It’s your car rebelling against you! Its saying...

“Please take this body kit off me NOW! I can’t breath”

;)

You gotta clean the MAF sensor. It's better to get it sorted, because it might not be the filter (although it probably will be), and may be something else wrong with the motor somewhere

Clean the sensor..

I personally wouldn't drive about with it on, because if were to come on due to a more serious matter.. It would allready be on, therefore you wouldn't know - potential *bang*

[MillzE]

Are you using a K&N cone filter or just the panel filter???

Matt

[RossP]

K&N only do a panel filter for the Yaris to my knowledge

[Nizan]

wont do any damage drivng with it on, but like metioned about you wont know if any new problems occure.

99.9% chance all will be fine though, these cars are very tough, keep an ear out for stange noises and keep the oil & coolant topped up regular servincing and all will be fine

[RossP]

Oh right well there we go

[knightrider]

[MrWinkey]

What is the MAF sensor?

Where is it?

How do you guiys know about this engine, as there are no manuals for it?

Welcome to the TOC...

The font of all knowledge regarding the Yaris...

[MrWinkey]

Well go on then,

bestow your knowledge on me!

[dicey2k]

That's the beauty of TOC!

The point is that the EMU Warning light warns you of a plethora of things that could be potentially wrong with the car, so driving with it lit isn't something i'd do. Clean your MAF sensor and see... But i'd like to know that the light will be there to warn me of something else that may be potentialy more damaging to my beloved engine! - Hence why i would't drive around with it on... Because you would never know if, god forbid, something else was to go on the fritz!

You wouldn't drive round with your ABS warning light on all the time would you???

!Removed! viscious - haven't you seen 'Dude Where's My Car'? :o

[MrWinkey]

As Funny as i found the EMU joke (and i did find it funny, getting some very harsh looks from GF, as i am disturbing her episode of "desperate houswives"), no one has told me either, what the MAF sensor is or how you all have this kind of knowledge?

I have heard of a MAP sensor, but not a MAF sensor.

AS there are so many sensors sensing the air temp and fuel air mix etc, how come they dont all mess the system up when you put on an induction kit?

As you can tell, i havent put one on.
