FOund a 94 LS that runs ruff guy said all it needs is a new maf. Its also got a new fuel pump and got timing belt water pump last yr. So is that all it could be or could there be more to it? He only wants $1500obo which seem retarded cheap. Also looks to be in real good shape.

i suggest u buy the MAF from me for $50 then test it to see if it really is a MAF problem .

slvrboolet

Ha well i'm going to look at it tommorrow. I have done reading and it seemed people suffered from similiar sypmtons when they had a bad maf. Did you have bad maf?

Is the car driveable? With the bad maf?

Would cleaning it help? He's about 50 miles from me so i'de like to get it home and work on it if i end up buying it.

Showing up with your own MAF is indeed a great idea.
SC400's & some GS300's use this same part. Not sure if any Toyotas do.

UZ-FE's very rarely have an actual mechanical problem. It is almost always a malfunction of the signals it is being sent.

Edit. Some Celicas also use this MAF

Actually im retarded after re-reading his add its actually a TPS sensor that needs replacement. Is that a bid a deal as the maf or something easier?

oh yea thats easier...probably just adjusted too low. www.lexls.com has a tutorial on how to adjust one..if that does not work i have the sensors for sale .

slvrboolet

U parting out a LS? lol I should be able to look at it tommorrow. I thought about trying to adjust see if that helps but he said a mechanic said it was bad so we'll see. Talked to him on the phone today he spend quite a bit of $$$ on it with in the last yr but also said there was a prob with the driver side window going down then getting stuck so guess have to check that out as well.

A MAF is an easy thing to install but you don't want to ever have to pay for a new one. There are non-oem sources for a new TPS.

Yea I do . Sounds like the window regulator went out also. If it really is bad I got that also lol.

slvrboolet

lol well i know where to go for parts. I went and looked at it on sun. It looked good from 10ft away but up close is has a horrible cheap respray, trunk not alighned (he told me it had been hit), various other chips scratches, driver door not alighned perfectly so i passed. It did have power head rest thought i didnt even know they had that. So i'm still looking shame it was so beat everything else worked on it.

Lil Celsior,

What year LS are you parting out?
