[s-cars] SWM ISO MAF

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Fellow Audiots,
Here's what I got:
MTM 1+ with a possible failing MAF.
Symptoms:
(1) On startup, takes a few cranks to get going, then
revs will pop to 1k, drop below for a split second,
pop up and then stabilize.

(2) When I popped off the lower IC hose last month, I
heard a whoosh of escaping boost and the car stalled.
Shouldn't it go into limp mode?

(3) Sometimes, I get A/F readings off of the Autometer
(mostly when it's wet out) that are quite sporadic
(i.e., 5 LED's on at once)

(4) I did drive the car with blown hoses more than I
should have...this includes the intake boot from the
airbox to turbo to MAF.  Could this have taxed the MAF

Does anyone have a spare lying around, as I'm leaving
for Canada this Friday with a local hottie.  Is the
MAF even my problem?  Should I check other things?
Should I just take hottie and show her how forgiving
the ecru can be when you're stuck on the side of the
Queen Elizabeth Expressway?

Joe
