Would it be normal for a Z32 TT to have a flat spot?

 

I once took the stock air filters out for a while and let the car zoom through to 80 with no flat spot at all, just great accel all the way.

 

After replacing with new air filters, and cleaning the MAF sensor, it now seems to get to about 60'ish with a slight hesitating and somewhat annoying flat spot. Btw, it's an Auto and I'm in drive at the time, without the overdrive, power or hold switches on.

 

If I stick her in 1st with power and overdrive, it of course zooms, but still, the same flat spot when I move into second at around the 60 mark.

 

Any ideas? Or is this normal behaviour for an unmodified Z32?

 

Many thanks, Alex

what did you clean the maf sensor with? i hope you did'nt touch it!!!

I used a carb. cleaning spray product. It seemed to do the trick. I noticed the same flat spot pre- and post cleaning so I didn't think it was related.

 

Have you experienced something similar and do you think it is MAF related?

 

Thanks, Alex

the maf usually faults on revs rather than speed. i.e. 4k is a know hot spot for faulty MAF's.

 

Not sure Carb cleaner is the best thing to use, a light air jet will do the job the best. You don't really want moisture of any kind round the maf, it's very sensative.
