It's not intelligent enough to realise the car is out of fuel and as a result there is no fuel to give the required engine speed increase the ECU has called for so it assumes the MAF isn't reading the increased airflow demands made by the EICV opening when the ECU tells it to.
Just one example of a red herring!  |
I know what you mean. But on a car that's easy to check, obd2 compatible, you lose nothing by checking it.
Well, with that trick I will at least be able to pass inspection don't you think? That's my most pressing issue.
