Mass Air Flow 0

No, not Congress.

The sensor.

Second Son had problems with the engine in his truck surging.

With a little bit of googling, I narrowed it down to the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor and a dirty air filter as the probable suspects, so I cleaned them, then I drove to the truck for two hours today with no problems.

With my luck, I’ll get a phone call from him later tonight when he’s broken down on the side of the road . . . (fortunately, I got him his own AAA card).

Then, again, even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.

(Actually, I consider this a minor triumph. I understand carburetors, but, when I look at a fuel injector, I’m like the lady in the old AAMCO commercial who, when she looked under the hood, saw a only a bunch of “dark greasy shapes.”

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
