fault "mélange too poor"

Post by Froggyfreddy » Sun Mar 19, 2006 7:45 pm

Can it come from the MAF sensor?


What else could it be coming from?


Please help ! :(

Yes, it does come from the MAF, 100%. By the way, mélange trop pauvre is "mixture too lean" in english ;)

HTH,

Mihnea

HTH,

Mihnea
Thanks, i hope you're 100% right :wink:

Another thing is that when i do a reset on the ECU. before it falls to 7psi, i find back a boost pressure, but never more than 14psi instead of the 20psi i should have with my reprogrammed ECU.

Will i really get 20psi after the changing of the MAF?

I don't know who has programmed your ECU or how he has programmed it, so I can't tell you if this behavior is normal or not...


Lean mixture codes are 100% from faulty MAFs on 2.7T engines...
