If holding back on excelleration like to be the MAF sensor faulty. Easy to test by simply unplugging MAF sensor, car is likely to stall on tick over by doing this but on higher revs if car then revs freely then you could try cleaning MAF sensor with aerosol cleaner you can purchase from most car factors but more likely to need replacing.

My 2001 Cougar control won't lock nor unlock the car and it just beeps rapidly when i press the controller, could it be the sensor on the door hinge? I noticed it's a little rubber boot. What could it be?

Hi there:

P0068 - MAF/MAP Sensor throttle correlation

I suggest to check the snorkel going to the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. Check for rips, cracks or if a tube has fallen off.

Hope helps.

2001 cougar 5 speed 2.5 liter when I begin to build up speed to shift the car will chug. I thought about spark plugs and now the engine light flased several times and is now on solid. Any guesses?

Check the MAF mass air flow sensor.

Where is the temp gage sensor location 2001 merk cougar

Hi there,

The temperature gauge relies on readings from the Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) Sensor.

The ECT sensor is usually located on (or near) the thermostat/coolant housing.

Refer to component No. 8 (2.0L Engine):

Refer to component No. 9 (2.5L Engine) locate under bypass tube:

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hi I have a 89 Cutlass Ciera and on my MAF SENSOR one of the bridge contacts has come loose. Can this be soldered or not? Thanks for your replies Dan

Hello danno44: My name is Roger and I will help you. I would recomend replacing the mass air flo sensor. Unless you have the correct soldier and soldier gun you will damage the sensor beyond repair. The sensor is a lot cheaper than they use to be. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

I'm having trouble locating the reason my 1989 Volvo 760 Gle starts just fine, but keeps shuting off

Hi

Most likely cause is the air mass meter also known on modern cars as the MAF sensor. check for any air leaks in the pipes also. any rips in the air pipes will choke the engine.

Hope this helps

Code p1131 on a 1999 mercury cougar

Lack of HO2S-11 Switch, Indicates Lean.Right bank front 02 sensor. When an HO2S sensor indicates lean at the end of a test, the system is trying to correct for an over-lean condition. The code is set when the fuel control system no longer detects switching for a calibrated amount of time.In other words the 02 sensor is indicating lean and the fuel trim has reached the programed limit trying to correct it.
There are many things that could cause this like a bad 02 sensor,a vacuum leak,a leaking or contaminated fuel injector/s,a stuck open PCV valve,leak in hose between MAF sensor and engine causing un-metered or unmeasured air entering the engine,exhaust leak,improperly seated oil dipstick,stuck EGR valve.
Check PCV valve first if it is stuck open if you pull the hose off of the valve cover that hooks to the air tube between MAF and engine you will feel a strong vacuum pull there,normal you would hardly feel it.

Try disconnecting the MAF sensor, if the problem clears either clean the MAF with brake clean or replace it, whichever works.

Well, the mass airflow meter and sensor should be the same part.
Its a metal (plastic) tube between the intake and the air filter with a sensor inside. They are available new and rebuilt.

Diane Schroeder Mar 22, 2015

Thanks Stephen, but I am still confused. The shop that replaced the MAF SENSOR only gave me back the small square plastic part and I can't find the tube on my car (maybe I am blind besides being ignorant when it comes to vehicle parts). but I know they did not do the right thing when they worked on my car which is still running bad after $850 worth of work. Thank you so much for your help...someone I can trust.
Stephen Mar 23, 2015

This is the sensor. The "sensor" part is the black box on top and inside the metal tube.
