Questions & Answers

Do I need to retune my Wrx? The car is a 2003 Wrx and I have a custom tuner, an open source tune. ?

It might be a good idea to have a tuner look at it. Tuning is essentially calibrating the mass air flow sensor reading to match the actual engine airflow, so a tune on a worn sensor will compensate for its Changing the sensor will result in a different reading of airflow, and that is why you need to do so In the event that there is no change in the reading, a new sensor isn't necessary. The chances of the tune requiring adjustment are greater if it was done on a brand new sensor.

Would you mind letting me know whether or not this is a Denso MAF original spec ?

My vehicle was the one in question.

It would have been helpful to have more fitment information- That's good news for the 2005 sti, isn't it?

Thank you for your inquiry, yes this is the right sensor for your 2005 We are happy to answer any questions or to assist with any needs you may have. Please feel free to contact us any time. Fortunately, BMA Auto Parts is available at 888-888-888 There are 262

Are we able to use this with a 2012 Mazdaspeed ?

It fit my 2004 Forester XT and 2006 Forester XS, but I don't know if this will fit any other Subaru models. As long as your Mazda has the same Denso stamp on the top, it should fit.

My 2007 Subaru WRX Limited is my pride and joy
5/5

As far as I am concerned, I had In 2007, I purchased a limited version of the WRX. It had been almost a year since I had an intermittent issue that even two local shops could not resolve. There is intermittent rough running with retarded timing at low speeds and torque levels. A lot of parts were replaced, including, at one point, the knock sensor, and there was still a problem after removing/repairing other small issues causing it to falsely signal knocking. When I was last at the Subaru shop, the mechanic suggested it may be the MAF sensor, however they weren't able to locate any codes or anything else on their computer. The problem is still present as I drive home. After triple checking this was the correct MAF for my car on the internet, I bought it. Following this, I read other reviews for WRX and STI cars and found several of them having the same problem. Apparently one person said as long as the MAF has over 100K on it, it needs to be replaced. It was ordered on a Wednesday and it was delivered on a It was just a matter of swapping them out. The answer to my question was yes. Since I drove it to work and back this week, I have watched the Cobb data and have had no issues. My mileage will also be up as a result of the rough running, so I'm waiting to see how it goes. This could very well solve your issue if you have a similar issue and want to purchase it and see how it works.

In Subaru's case It was a start then die error that was fixed immediately
5/5

It did not throw any codes. It does not start when I start the Subaru Legacy Wagon The turbo version (CA emissions version. The computer started up but died immediately it was unable to hold an idle state. It was necessary to keep the car at idle and drive it home with both feet. The idle has also been very low for the past two years almost to the point where there would be a slight shudder every now and then when I drive it and go back It was too sticky at 160k miles, so I replaced the MAF with a new one. I also removed the air box to clean out the throttle body plate area and replaced the air filter. It's boom time! The car has been started and running fine again. The low idle has been eliminated and the car runs like new. It is important to note that there are two types of MAFs for this era of Subaru 2005 and 2006 Despite the confusion caused by the part numbers, even Amazon is unsure of what they should do. On one side, the MAF is approximately one inch wide across the top, while it is wider and bigger on the other. The one sold here is the larger size part number Checking your car first is your best bet. Before you buy, feel free to check how it physically looks by going out to your car itself. You'll save yourself from a headache if you install two screws position, away from home and trapped, don't try the two-foot driving thing unless you are experienced, just You should make it home under 40 mph if you follow that route.

This product has been verified to work in the No matter how much it was cleaned, the old one just couldn't find a way
5/5

As many of us here have noticed, there is a very faint stutter situated somewhere between 2 and 0 There has been a noticeable increase in RPMs lately in relation to 3K RPMs. The car felt like it was going to buck and kick me out of my seat under normal driving conditions right before I replaced it, I noticed my fuel economy had improved, I had more power than before, and I noticed how much less fuel I used to have. As a result the car experienced a truly catastrophic drop in RPMs, dropping to as low as 500 RPM when the clutch pedal was pressed or put in neutral, and it felt like the engine would explode. However, the vehicle would almost stall after it came back to life very quickly. Making the car drive smoothly was made possible by this. Initially, the installation was difficult. I also found the car hard to start. The replacement MAF solved nearly everything, and I believe a faint noise at around 2100 RPM is due to old spark plugs (which takes much longer to replace on these cars than the MAF). Additionally, there is a noticeable improvement in car speed. The car I drive is tuned and has a few modifications, so for it to run right I need a perfect AFR.

My 2002 WRX has a hesitation issue that was fixed
5/5

Since I had my car 110k miles, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my 2002 WRX. The car had hesitation and jerky acceleration. Several parts were replaced in an attempt to solve the issue, The spark plugs, ignition coils, cam position sensor, knock sensor, intake housing, and fuel filter are all affected. I went through all of these parts and eventually replaced the mass air flow sensor to fix the problem. A check engine code of P0171 assisted in troubleshooting. After resetting the code, the car began to work like new. Simply install the sensor, disconnect the battery, and put the battery back in.

A steady 16 now appears to be the DAM for the 2005 WRX
5/5

There will be no more surging or hesitating. a problem with my Subaru WRX not accelerating properly, it would surge and hesitate once I got in 2nd gear and higher. I had also noticed that my DAM value was dropping and would not return The OEM one was replaced with this one (same manufacturer/part but cheaper than the Subaru dealer). I was able to resolve both issues, and I found the car more enjoyable to drive.
When the MAF on the car died, the vehicle had a mileage of about 95000 miles. I suspect over oiling the Cobb air filter played a role in destroying it.

The Subaru Forester XT 5MT is a 2004 model
5/5

It helped me fix my idle problems on an 04 FXT 5MT and allows me to tune more efficiently. The learning curve on this car was quite steep after I chased ghosts and learned it the hard way. Having reinstalled an O2 sensor, plugs, this part and a coil we are running as we should. A fall around 3000 does not affect her face anymore The engine spins at 4000 rpm. Your car might not start if you replace this part or if you suffer this issue after doing so, you should drive it for 50-plus miles during the idle relearn cycle It is 80 miles away. It is never too late for Subarus to learn and they are always learning, even after It was too many resets and too little driving time that caused her to lose skill. If her engine idling rough, let her take the vehicle for a test drive. If it's really bad, start it with air/fuel. You may have a boosted engine. Check the vacuum lines and get an accessport or a tactrix cable. When you can't see the numbers, it seems a bit silly to throw things at it. I wish you all the best and we wish you a safe and enjoyable drive!.

This is the correct replacement part for the The 197-I used for this In a 2006 Subaru Outback with a four cylinder engine and automatic transmission, the mass flow sensor in the engine has been replaced for $6040
5/5

As an exact replacement for the original unit on the car, this unit was installed exactly as it was supposed to be installed. In spite of contrary recommendations by Amazon and by Denso, I chose this unit due to the comments of others who said it was the best unit for the job. It is specified that the unit WILL suit a number of different Subaru models built in the same era, which includes some that used the same engine that power All of these other models use the same Mass Air Flow Sensor that came with the Outback as standard equipment.
