fuel trim malfunction?

well… My check engine light keeps coming on and it cost me 90 each time to check it out so i said skrew that. I went out and bought a odb 2 reader and well it works 100% but it only gives u the code and what the code means.

so my question is this the code that comes up is a " fuel trim malfunction bank 1" thats what is said in the book now… how do i fix it or replace this sensor were is the problem located and what would be my best plan of attack?

replace your MAF

really… y would that do it… do i need to replace the whole thing or just the sensor, and did my short ram intake mess it up or does maf just stop working some times?

usually if your maf is going thats one of the first codes the ecu will throw. you could try replacing just the sensor, but why go to all the hassle if it doesnt work.

also it would help if you listed somewhere what car you drive. if its a 240sx, getting a maf is not tough.

another thing you could quickly do is clean out your maf with brake cleaner, make sure the sensor isnt completely covered in crap.

short ram = check engine light

ya i have a 95 240sx ka. why does a short ram= check engine light
