My Z has been having acceleration problems as of late. I changed the fuel filter and it did no good. No check engine light has come up but I believe the bulb is out. After doing some research I believe my maf is bad. The car idles and runs fine with no abnormal noise, but the acceleration is still poor. Does anyone believe it's the maf ? I was told it coulb be fuel injectors, but the car doesn't idle rough. Also, would it be better to just clean the maf, or just replace it ?

MasterI have replaced the MAF sensor on several 300's. have you a voltmeter? I hate replacing parts at a guess without firm evidence a part is bad.
The electrical connection at the sensor has 6 wires. The second wire in from the side that has wires in the each socket, should have .8volts dc with the key on engine off, start the engine let it run and warm up, voltage should be from .8 to 1.5 volts.Flag ThisLike | 3 people like this3 -

Checked the voltage as suggeted and got a reading of 0.48 volts with key on. Running engine was within spec 1.29 volts. I cleaned the MAF with MAF Cleaner and also cleaned connectors and terminals. Retetsed - no difference.
Does the 0.48 reading mean it's had it?Flag This -
