Code DTC:31
finally pulled the code, DTC:31 Vaf Circuit.
removed the maf again and sprayed maf cleaner into the hole in the end and let it dry etc. car stalls at first completely and dies at idle in park and drive. after it warms up the idle is uneven between 1k and 500 and there is a lot of hesitation during acceleration.
what to do....replace vaf?

spraying or messing around with mafs in general is not recommended. my buddy sprayed some in his maf in a ka-t s14 and the maf took a chit.
on the other hang i took mine in my 93 sc300 and drenched it in brake clean to clean it and its all good.
depends of its karman vortex or hit wire i guess....and your luck.

karman vortex and hot wire refers to the type of sensor it is. not the manufacturer.
the 92-96 sc's are karman vortex if i recall correctly and 97+ are hot wire. they use different ways to measure are flow.
