Smile MAF Sensor

I hope your car is fixed by now.

My 2001 S40 (150,000 miles) was shutting off frequently - even at 60mph on the highway. It would always start right back up but a real PITA

I tried all the potential fixes below, each one made the car run a little better, but only an OEM MAF fixed the shutoff nonsense
Date Parts Labor Total
5/17/23 $0 $75 $75 3 Vacuum hoses, checked 3 check valves
7/18/23 $295 1 Air Idler Control Valve
7/18/23 $49 1 Manifold Pressure Sensor
7/18/23 $45 2 Boost Pressure Solenoid Valve
7/18/23 $51 3 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid
8/9/23 $29 Relay – fancy fuse
8/29/23 $93 4 Thermostat, Coolant Temp Sensor
10/2/23 $238 5 Mass Air Flow Sensor

I tried cleaning and many other MAF tricks, but none worked !

It is now April 2024 and no more shut offs

Good Luck,

Tom
