i ran a scan on the cars computer and it cam back as maf senor falut or somethin like that so i went and go a maf sensor and changed mind u that the one in it is new also so anyhow i got a new one and is still came back the same
so what i need to know is
how a maf sensor works does it use power from a 12v source and ground i think i read something about a 5volt soure how do i get that or what and if it does any one can give me the wire colors that is power and ground its a lt1 94 camero motor thank guy apperate it

 

The first thing you should check is that it is getting power and ground. 12v on the pink wire and ground on the black/white.

 

thanks this should help me if i am getting power what else could it be ?

 

I will let you know tommorow, The Alldata at my shop has detailed instructions on what to do to diagnose the electrical on an lt1.

 

On my caprice it kept throwing a MAF code, then a multiple misfire code, turned out just needed some fuel system cleaner. I had at that point allready replacing the MAF.

 

A fouled plug caused my MAF fault (P0100) to occur, it can also be caused by a vacuum leak. If you have a DVM with frequency on it you can tap into the MAF and get the frequency reading and see how it compares to accepted value (which can be found through a search).
