I just got a new MAF, because I had misfires and I swaped my coils around and it didn't make a difference. The newMAF didn't change my idle problem and shuts down the computer for a few secondsshifting into a new gear when I drive it hard.

 

don’t know much about MAF, but if you do have bad coil swapping it around wont help much, it will misfire but it different cylinder… idle problem might need throttle body cleaning and alignment. i don’t know everything, but y did you change your MAF how do you know it caused misfires and bad idling? codes would help…

 

i got codes sayin a had missfire in 1,3,4 and when i swapped them they were still in the same spot and i had a code saying factory idle problemand factory air fuel problem or sumn i dont remember exactly what it said

 

the code is required
the codes for 1 3 4 misfire are P0301 cylinder 1/ P0303 cylinder 3 / P0304 cylinder 4, so there must be other codes?

 

Did you consider the IC module before a new MAF? How many miles on the current CPs? Perhaps it's time to look into replacing them.

 

ok ill go over and get my obd II ill be back

 

What engine?
What year?

 

I have a 97 1.8 T Quattro , ok so it all started with missfire code P303 like 3 days after i got the car so i took it back to the dealer and had them change the plugs...my check engine went off ( i think he just erased the codes) it came back like a week later but in 3 cylinders P301 P302 P304 now its all four i don't have the moneyto blow on new coils if thats not the problem... then i checked again and these are the codes i got

P1559
P1136
P0300,0301,0302,0303,0304
P1250
P0103

 

P1136 check for vacuum leaks, L shaped formed hose.
