o yea b4 i thought the intake on the car might of threw off the ecu cuz it was like 40 degrees outside, cuz my friend had a gs300 and he had intake and the hks exaust on it and his check engine light came on..but it drove normal also.so thats why i thought the intake might have thrown off the ecu...

I had mine come on one day while i was driving. I checked everything and couldnt find anything, it felt fine so i drove it, and it went off about 2 days later. I took it into the dealer and there were no codes or anything, and I havent had any problems. Its probably a dirty sensor or a glitch somewhere.

I had a same problem couple days ago..... It is gone after two days later.
I thought it happened because of cold weather. me and my gs were never exposed to cold weather before... (we were californians!!!!)

I have a question.....
where is this MFA sensor located? I guess I need to clean this too.
how do I clean this sensor???


THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Location : Intake Tube. Theres only one thing that has wires (not hoses) attatched to it and that goes into the intake.

How to clean: Search the threads, but I think you uses carb cleaner and just spray it on. just have to be careful, new MAF sensors are $$
