Troubles with MAF sensor

[scozzari]

Has anyone had any troubles with the Mass air flow sensor on their Suzuki Esteem Wagon 2002? The garage is telling me that's what my problems are but to order the part, they need to get it from Suzuki, and it's $1000.

Has anyone had the same problem, or know where I could order the part for a better rate?

Thanks

Hi there. I don't know how helpful this will be, but when I had my engine throwing that code when I accelerated hard, I changed the sensor (found it on ebay for $15) and it made no difference (code came back).

What is the suzuki part number of your sensor? I have my old one which is still probably good if you really do need one.

I did some research and was pointed in the direction of the EGR valve, which is bolted to the back of the air intake. Mine was plugged pretty solid with soot, so I cleaned it up using most of a can of carb cleaner, and some scraping and the code did not come back.

Now, I have a different code showing the upstream O2 sensor is bad though. Still need to replace that one...
