cleaned mafs changed fuel filter and no improvement
here a follow up on my performance issue from this tread http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e3...s-need-help-new-owner.html?highlight=multiple
so i have been doing tests on menu 4 l/h, its a week i have the car,as soon as i got it i changed air filters i have been getting readings between 90-100 l/h highest i saw was 101 the weather here is pretty cool. Yesterday i put a new fuel filter and no improvement car feels the same and same l/h.
today i found a can of crc mafs cleaner at napa autoparts cleaned them took it for a blast and nothing car is the same.
the wierd thing is i sometimes get higher readings in 2nd gear than 3rd but most i saw today was 98 l/h.
tomorrow i'm going to order new mafs from bimmerzone and going to change spark plugs this weekend and hope i see better numbers
one good thing is i havent gotten a cel light since the first day i pushed it to redline and i had those missfire codes.
so the car hasn't trown any codes but has poor l/h numbers.

I agree with you about the cleaning not being sufficient...but if you get any improvement after cleaning it usually means "buy new mafs".Don't be mean just because he's from Canada
Some people will argue that cleaning your MAFS is suffice. I found better results by just buying new ones.
I am concerned that the cleaner was just applied to the inside of the tube and outer part of the MAF capsule itself...
And sorry, but tossing in a bit of formatting will typically engender more engagement and response from others. Canada or West Palm!

I got a deal for you. How busy is your weekend? I would meet you halfway say Kingston. We could swap out my MAFs in your car and see if there is an improvement, I will bring my scanner and we can do some live data. In exchange in need to swap out PDC controllers to see if that is my problem. Your PDC working? Besides I would really like to compare two 02/00 cars. I know you can't likely PM yet so if interested reply here and I will PM you my email and phone number.
i would love to meet up with you one day but you are pretty far even kingston is about 3 hrs from me, i went ahead and ordered new mafs from bimmerzone (great price with group buy) and will change spark plugs and do compretion test this weekend and will be posting results with pics of plugs so everyone can see. what is PDC?
