hey,
well i have a 91 tsi with a 90 fwd trans and 4g63t... and it was runing..but it stoped... it seems like the maf just stoped working.. but the car didnt go anywear..it was up on jack stands ..b/c i was doing break work on all 4 breaks... and when i put it back on the ground.. it wouldnt start.. this happened before but we knew what happened that time.. when we put a turbo timer in.. we had to cut and splice the MAF wire comen out of the ECU... but when we took i tout ..we forgot to hook it back up... so thats y it did it the first time.. when u go to start it now.. it starts...for about 30 sec..untill the ecu kicks on..and then chokes out...like the maf is broke... i did a volt check on the wires and they seem to be fine.. so before i go out and get a new maf i was wondering if it could be anything ells... or if it is deff the maf... thanks

What the f*ck did you just try to say?

Jesus Christ, unless English is your 9th language or something, this post is the most atrocious piece of shit I've ever laid eyes on. I would expect most people with more than 14 brain cells to go into convulsions and die before making it halfway through this garbage.

Clean this crap up and try again, and you might get a response that's helpful. Damn.

, easy on the poor man. Maybe hes in a hurry or something. Never know if hes taking some classes too. Give the poor ol man a chance!.

Sorry, but this was so far above and beyond the usual illiteracy you see in internet forums that I just couldn't stand it, especially when he's asking for help. Like I said, if he really is just learning English I can partially forgive him, but if I had to guess he's probably just a kid, lazy, or both.

I mean, if he'd taken 5 seconds to run that mess through a spell checker, at least he could've told from the smoldering remains of his computer after it burst into flames that something was wrong.

In any case, I'm done. As I said, I'd be happy to help him with his car as long as reading his post doesn't give me a f*cking migraine.

A lot of things can cause your problem including the MAF. I guess you can start by making sure the MAF in the engine bay is pluged in and the intake coupler didn't come off. Go back and check the wiring with whatever you were trying to say about ecu/tt. While you're there, I would pull the ecu and check for leakage. That should get you started.

What people like this need to do is read the f*cking tuning guide and vfaq. Just about every stupid thread can be answered between the two of those.

TurboGarageTech · Jan 10, 2005

I'm impressed you can understand enough of his post to figure out the answer is in the VFAQ, but you're right that about 90% of the stuff people post on this board can be found by searching. It seems like the ones that obviously haven't even tried to search usually have the most horrific English too. Kind of ties into the laziness idea I suppose.

But I guess we're not supposed to say "use the search."

Okay I'm really done now.
