My car turns off... i saw my friend see it and he said it was most likely the MAF sensor, this started happening after i changed my blown turbo because of the white smoke coming out from the exhaust..
now no white smoke but pure gas comes out from the exhaust meaning black smoke.
anyone has any ideas on where to buy the MAF sensor or a whole new intake or a solution to the problem?
 
Hard to say, if it feels like its dumping fuel ide start off with boost leak test. Check the maf make sure its all plugged in. What exactly does it do before it shuts off, does it idle for a little then turn off? Do you have a wideband?
 
It only turns off when you accelerate it and its black smoke smells a lot of gas , it seems like a misfire when u accelerate it the engine moves then goes off , when u unplug the maf it doesn't do anything it stays the same shouldn't it idle more without the maf plugged in ?
