This video just saved my day. I noticed my car was vibrating and it went off in its own. It couldn't maintain idle. After watching this video, I disconnected the MAF sensor and boom, I was on my way. Thanks a lot. I was 30KM From safety.
I’m about to try this I hope it works I’m 54 miles away from home in the rain with my girlfriend
@@saucyg407did you reach home?
Thank you so much for the video. This helped me fix our 2005 Sequoia. It was starting and then dying after like 1 second but we could usually getting going on the 3rd or 4th time. Did this for a few weeks and then it it would be okay for a while. But then it started dying while driving while at a red light, etc. Took it into the shop and of course it wouldn't do it for them. They kept if for a week and it never acted up so they didn't try to fix it because they said it was fine. Then today it wouldn't start and run at all. It would start and then run for 1 second and then die. I was thinking of having it towed into the shop, but I thought I would check youtube first and found your video. Tried unhooking the MAF and it started and ran no problem. Got a new MAF, changed it out in like 3 minutes and now all is good and running fine again.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Saved the day! Tundra wouldn’t start this morning. Pulled up this video on youtube, and presto! Started right up after disconnecting MAF sensor. Thanks!
This worked on my 02 century after I changed the spark plugs and fuel injectors! It would start up for a second and then shut off completely. It took me so long to figure out what it was and this video stands a test to time and helped me out years later after it was uploaded. Awesome diagnosis. 🎉🎉
This! Held on to my Sienna because it would start up then die. I use this as a work van and I love it. After months of trying to find the problem, I came across this solution. Wallah! Thank you so much. You literally saved me thousands (for a new van).
Great video. Showed the symptom, possible solution, thorough, and under 5 min. Thanks!
Good to know car runs without MAF connected. Good preventative maintenance to clean with MAF sensor cleaner every one or two service intervals.
It's like making a list for the supermarket, great so long as you remember to bring it. However for a motorist a long ways from home, and stuck out in the wilds, its a very handy, low tech solution and very simple to carry out and get someone on track again. As they say at Tesco's, "every little helps".
Spot on Tom 😉👍
Thank you Gerard! I couldn't figure out my issue after installing a CAI on my Fairlady Z. As soon as you showed me, I unplugged my MAP and voila! Lol Gonna replace it tomorrow 🤘🏻
Great .. just now my car happened this issue. Then I search in RUclips and I see your video.. really I follow that and my car issue successfully.. right now I gonna subscribe your channel.. thank you sir
Found it useful? Man it’s great 2005 x trail doing this . Just pulled the sensor and it runs. Thank you so much
Wow, is only my issues with vehicle were this easy to remedy. Great video, thank you for sharing.
Dude thank you! There was a fly in my MAFS! I couldnt understand what was going on!
I experienced this exact problem yesterday and followed the steps indicated to confirm the problem was the MAF sensor. Bought and installed a new one and the van seemed to run fine. For one day! Then the same behavior returned now with a new MAF sensor. When I disconnected it this time, the stalling persisted and I am now seeing DTCs P0351-P0356 (before disconnecting the MAF sensor).
Had this exact problem in 86.Thank you heaps
2009 Chevy Traverse, that was the problem exactly, saved me tons of time and headache.
4/2024 this video helped me with my Lexus sc430 THANK YOU from PHX AZ
You just saved my life 😢 car on the move thank you so much
I have a Kia optima 2010 this same thing happened to me I watched this video and it saved the day thank you so much
That worked for me. Thanks!
And for everyone else, these things will cause a hard or no start as well if they're dirty. Spray the sensor down with some CRC QD Electronic Cleaner or equivalent. In my case, it saved me from having to buy a new sensor.
Why didn't he say it in this video
@@tonetell3095 I know, right? Dirty sensors are a common problem. My experience has been that if someone else is buying the parts, it's much easier to just throw a new one at it. Plus the shop gets 50-100% markup on the part.
But I will say that the shop has an interest in getting the problem fixed right the first time, where we DIY'ers' interest is in saving money and not buying unnecessary parts if we don't have to.
Not always I cleaned my sensor not good at new it show 0.3 gram per sec when engine stop. Pretty sure out of calibration.
Thank you for your tip I'm going to go try it right now and see if it works out on my Silverado
I had been in so many conversations, reading so many forums, trouble shooting several other solutions and this was it
Thanks so much for this.
MAF (near engine air filter) cleaner & THRODDLE BODY cleaner needed. A Mechanic can clean the grime off both ( not easy) about every 25,000 miles or 1 1/2 yrs.(change engine air filter then also). If replacing parts keep old parts. Hope helps.
So even if is still dies at idle I should clean the throttle body
Thank you. I have a 2018 volvo VNL semi-tractor D13 motor. This was exactly the issue.
Thanks for this video. Had the problem with my nissan serena i used some wd40 electronic spray to clean the air flow sensor and my problem was solved.
Very useful thanks. My Avensis is also doing that I have to get it checked…. A lot of thanks from South Africa
Thumbs up! this happened maybe a year ago an i forgot all about it after i changed the MAF now a year later it happened again! the first one costed $144 an now i got to do it again? can i leave it disconnected? Thanks a million really helped
I love you… you are a lifesaver and my hero
thank you,i sprayed contact cleanner on terminal fixed
omg if this is all it ends up being on the car im working on i'll be both pissed and relieved.. i've swapped cam position sensors and crank position sensor on the advice of other mechanics.. i never once thought the maf would cause this without throwing a code. mine does this but only after the under hood temps get hot. if i keep a fan on top of the engine it'll stay running so i figured it was a sensor.. thanks for the video.
Great video.i fixed my car un 15 seconds.thank you.great.
Yabadabadoo! 2005 Opel Tigra Twintop, Corsa engine. Fuel holding at 50 psi, new plugs, all new filters, pump.. Cuts out in seconds.Tried to get MAF spray in France, never heard of it. Cheap Odb reader useless. Tried to buy XTool D7, not in France, and Amazon won't post here from UK or US because its a "non digital item" (???). Managed to unplug (weird one) ran for 30 seconds, shaking, all warning lights went out. REplugged, cut out. So this doodad is prolly beyond cleaning and needs replacing. Will bookmark this and update.
Thank you sooooo much.
If you have a Toyota diesel - this exact symptom is that of a sticking SCV (Suction Control Valve).
Have a 1kz that's doing this. Is this the spill valve you talk about?
great video, diagnosed my problem perfectly. Had it fixed within an hour!! THANK YOU!
Seriously Louisiana heat ain’t no joke thank you!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your honest helping.
Thanks for the kind words David ❤️🙏🙏❤️
2000 corolla, mine does the same thing. Replaced the MAF with OEM. Still does it
Let me if you fix it . I have the same issue
will a bad MAF sensor stop the engine from being able to rev up whilst depressing the gas pedal and starting up the car? iv got a 98 v6 sr5 4runner
Thank you O wise one if anyone hasnt told you yet you are a miracle an miracle worker thank you for your advice an knowledge may your journey be long peaceful and prosperous #lifesaver
Wow, thanks a lot, this is very helpful in troubleshooting.
I have a 92 lexus sc400 obd1. Since its a toyota as well i need to try that. I have replaced many electrical, fuel related parts and all the vaccum line i could find when the car has different symptoms but bow it's doing the exact same thing as this car. Only difference is if I unplug the battery and reset it'll stay on a little longer but repeat again.
have had the same issue changed with oem part, and problem still persists, no other error code, has been kept with all regular maintenance schedules
Have they the hot wire air flow meter in em ger..u can clean the little hot wire element in the air flow meter with carb cleaner..ive done that on the yaris before and it works a treat
Spot on Conor, as I say at around the 2:44 mark, have it replaced or cleaned up. Whichever is more suitable for your circumstances 👌👍
Car ran fine. Filled up at gas station, then car wouldn`t stay running. Thought it might be bad gas. Opened the glove compartment and smuggly staring me down was a damn rat! Thought that bugger maybe chewed through some wires. Found your video and unplugged MAF sensor; my baby started right up!!! Thank you so much! I still have a damn rat in there somewhere. Any videos for that?
In my case
I unplugged the fuel pump and let the air come out
Then it started properly
I've started getting a problem on these cold mornings with my 2007 corolla verso 2.2 Diesel will start the first time without a problem and idle normally. After about one minute or so warning light will show up on the dash than fter another 30 seconds the engine cuts out.
When the engine dies, I can restart again without a problem and the whole scenario starts over this happen until the engine warms up. once the temperature reaches 60 and the blue light goes off the car works fine the rest of the day.
I cleaned the EGR, polished the glow plugs and tested them, put a new fuel filter, tried a working SCV from my mate's car, and did a full tank with fuel treatments.
None of the above-mentioned worked however the car performance is much better.
I tried to warm up the fuel rail line with a hot cloth soaked in hot water and will top it with hot water every now and then and the car did not cut off but won't drive as normal unless the engine itself is warmed up.
Once it is warmed up it runs fine. Any idea what else could it be? Thank you
Dear Gerard, my camry 95....starts, runs well, but ONLY sometimes AS it's coming to a stop at a light, for example, DIES. .it takes a couple of minutes to restart. Or as it happened last night , car coasting to a stop it went dead. Since it has happened 4 times in a month...any guessings what needs to be checked?? Thank you man. GREAT video.
mine has the same problem like this and solved by changing the mass airflow sensor!
Nice tip Ger, might come in handy for the Dad's Avensis sometime and get him home. The new intro is class btw 👍👍
Always a good one to keep in the back of your mind, only issue is trying to remember it when the time comes 😂
Thanks for the feedback on the intro, I spent so much time to get it how I liked it so it's great to hear feedback ❤️❤️🙏🙏
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage Yeah, the auld memories aren't the best so we'll probably spend a few hours unplugging everything until we hit on the right one. I'll have to put a sticker on it for him. 😁
You'd definitely know that time was put into the intro - lovely design on the car and look of the logo generally, nice timing on the cog rotation and the name sliding in, syncing with the sounds of the windy gun, then the knife slice and the shimmer to finish. When you retire from the wrenching, you'll have a career in graphic design/media ahead of you, very professional looking. Nice one. 👍
@@twostroketom very kind mate thanks 🙏🙏🙏😊😁
You saved me. Thank you.
Have this same problem with a 2009 toyota venza. Starts up and immediately stalls. Try to start again without turning it all the way off and it just cranks without turning over...
If I turn it all the way off (push button) it will do the start and stall again. Unplugging the maf sensor does nothing to change this.
It actually did this to me months ago...then suddenly started working again until about 3 days ago. Can't get it going
Check for dirty battery terminals or change the battery.
Thanks saved me a big headache 🙂
🙏🙏
I'm having this issue with my 2.2D X-Type but unplugging the MAF didn't do the trick, but unplugging the wire to the turbo actuator did get it going. It will also start when I unplug the MAP on the EGR, and once it runs it will be fine starting up again, until the next day. But it's running really rough, searching, erratic gear shifts (automatic), and lots of different random error codes, like torque signal, neutral shift position, high fuel pressure, etc.
I'm starting to think it might be a ground issue.
Same here bro
Useful information, thank you!!
Thanks Vincent 🙌👍
Thank fixed it myself
Excellent experienced knowledge shared once again, many thanks.
Appreciate you saying those kind words Paul. Thank you :)
I’m getting this with my 2014 Qashqai it’s had the air, oil and fuel filters replaced
Thank you so much for the information, My toyota surf 1kz has the same issues like yours, engine starts then cuts out immediately. please sir, tell me how can I do to starts the surf.
What happens when you unplug the sensory and drive?
The ecu won't read how much is air coming into the engine that's why you need a MAF sensor. And if you drive with the mass air flow sensor unplugged you will see black smoke coming out of your exhaust pipe.
Thanks for the video
It’s very helpful
Having same issue on my 05 highlander
Thank you Sir!
Great tip
Thanks Mack 👍
I'm having that exact same issue right now with a 1997 Plymouth Voyager and what I seem to do to fix it is I removed my glove box area actually I'm removed my glove box and I was able to view my heater core housing unit and what seemed to be I guess maybe a problem is the cord to my heater core was pushed in that could be why it was stalling out when I was started I would start it and it was solo immediately and what I did is I pulled the cord close to the what looks like to be flush with what it was before it was pushed in and I started it and it worked now today my wife is in the city 1 hour away and she phones me and she says the van won't start I said well try what I told you because I think that's a air flow problem and I think I just found my video that is my problem thank you so much if anybody else can help me out great thank you I will post a video if you want me to my starting and stopping actually maybe I'll post it anyways
Thanks for the video, my matrix 2009 when I start stay on a second , what could be the problem , thanks
You are the man!!!!!man appreciated
Worked for me. Thankyou.
Nice one 👏👏👌👌
Thank you so much ❤

Thank you very much. You save my time
I have a Toyota etios 2013 same problem auto electrician says a diagonostic checks needs the be done via a Machine.
My car 2007 Camry, is currently at the mechanics being diagnosed for this issue. They said nothing appears on their computer. I suggested the MAFS after watching this video, hopes it's the issue.
So what fixed it?
Is there anything else that could cause this?
Great video you saved me brother
Will try this next time my engine won't start, thanks
Well I saw you say try this but I didn't understand what to try.
Thank you worked a treat 👌
Thank you so much my friend cheers worked like a charm
Cheers Frank 🙏
Disconnected MAF sensor but no difference. Engine fires up then rapidly dies.
Great tip once again Gerard, did not know that, Thankyou:):)
One for the filing cabinet Pat 😉💪
Impossible to know them all, we all learn information from somewhere.
I have a nice little tip video coming next 😉👍 I learnt it from watching some YT repair videos years ago but no classroom passed it on 👌
Thanks for watching Pat
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 👍👍🙏🙂
Thank you. It worked. 🙏
👌🙌
My Toyota 1az fse noah engine will turn off immediately after the engine check light comes on during normal acceleration, what should I do to get the problem fix
I have a 04 hilux with similar problem . Engine dies sometimes at idle she not showin up any fault.
Mine does this, except it dies far more immediately to the point you can keep the key turned and it'll keep trying to start and die within half a second each time.
This video was very helpful 👍
Great job, it fixed my problem. Thanks.
Fantastic 💯👌👍
Thank you so very much..
This happend to my Skoda after the battery died, we jump started it and it kept cutting out, local mechanic tried to as booster pack and the same., got towed to Limerick main dealer, while I was talking to the manager about it a mechanic "moved" the car, aka he has good booster pack. Turnes out the ECU and fuel pump is sensitve to low voltage. Ars 250 euro for the tow. The main dealer didn't charge to clear the ECU fault code.
Very helpfully, thank you
What if I already replaced the mass air flow sensor and the problem continues
You find a answer to this?
@@RogueEntertainment actually I did you have an electric plunger in the front of the block of the engine with a big tube coming out that leads to the air filter I popped that tube off and saw a lot of build up of carbon along the plunger if you half turn on that key the plunger will open use carb cleaner and clean it really good out it all back together and I’ve never had the issue again
@@RogueEntertainment lmk if you need help finding out what I’m talking about
@@austinsoutdooradventuresan2338 Thanks man, I'll check on my car and see if this works.
hi my name is justin i currently have the issue you show in the video i replaced the maf but my car still stalls out like it does in the video i unplug it and it runs hat could it be
really helpful gerard would love you to solve my issue as its a ford focus 1.8 zetec s model and star/stop button, heres the issue its start fine and drives and couple meters down road at junction when put clutch in to go from any gear down to like 1st gear it dies and i have to constantly keep putting clutch in again push start button for it to get a little more down raod or any junctions to cut off on me randomly, very frustrating as looked at all types videos and yours seems be closest cause yet but would be intresting if i can get a video to show you :D
My GX470 does the same exact thing, starts then it'll stall out.. I was stranded at the gas station waiting for a tow truck, but I was parked where the truck wouldn't have been able to get in front of my vehicle.. I randomly decided to try to move back just a little bit so the truck could get into position. After starting, I went into reverse immediately after starting up & it STAYS on . It's the only way it stays on, park or drive or driving/doing nothing after starting will make it stall out and turn off. Any ideas what this could be? 🤔🤔
Mine was the air box wasn’t connected correctly to the throttle body
@@mikee8304 idk what my issue was, but luckily I knew a guy who just removed my throttle body and cleaned it with SEAFOAM then put the SEAFOAM inside my gas tank and gave it a good powerbrake
Amazing. That was it. Thanks 😅
Have a 2007 corolla ..will an imovilzer issue cause same simtoms??..starts and dies
ya thank u my friend my car stalls too but i change this damn sensor on and on still no luk orally is 100$ one i got was from ebay 2 times 20 buks is there a difrence
Experience their well done Gerard. Did u get 2 check any live data
Cheers Ian, 🙏🙏
Yes I was looking at it before and after. When disconnected the air temp went to - 40ish and the MAF reading stayed at 0.35 g/s when conneted or disconnected.
When replaced the g/s went to normal expected levels at idle and when reving 👌👍
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage i will let you away with that one so Gerard 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂👍
Got a ve lt35 van doin this sporadically I'll try this later
My car does this the 1st time, 2nd time starts normally. That or seems like a weak or dead battery then 2nd try it starts.
thank you for sharing this🙌
i have the same problem Toyota Corolla 09 1.8, i brought a technician to where it's stopped and told me some computer components need to be fixed ( replacing some ICs or transistor) or replacing the whole PCM cause he tried my computer on another vehicle same model and the problem still exists starts then cuts out immediately! what do you think
I've been dealing with this problem today.😢 had it happen about a year ago after throwing a bunch of parts at it...looks like I'm going to have to do it again. Unfortunately this trick doesn't work for my car. It starts up and dies with or without the MAF connected.
