Bro u might’ve jus saved me😭😭 im fixing my mom broken car for myself but it’s not really broken it jus has been sitting for 4 years in my parking lot because she got a new car n I jus went too go buy a new battery and it turned on but didn’t start but then we put new gas and basically jus spent like $300 jus doing things trying to fix it and my gpa told me I need a gas pump so Im waiting till my new check comes in but once I go home ima try this and hopefully it works so I can start driving it 😂😂 so thank you for commenting this !
Thank you! Thanks to you it was discovered that the air sensor in my car had a fried cockroach inside the sensor and it was not making good contact. The car was giving many error codes on the computer. We would never have found the problem so quickly if it weren't for you. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for this video! My family had/is having this issue on the way back from vacation. We would have been stuck in Alabama if it wasn’t for this video. Blessings your way in Jesus name!
Thank you i did pull one sensor connect to the air filter box but that did not make a difference. What's a sensor like you showed connected to the throttle body did the trick.
2007 Avalon same car my issue is it will fire but shuts off. when the MAF sensor was changed it did the same thing what do you think the problem is ? could it be the ignition coils are bad or at least one of them ?
My Mazda 3 2013 stalls slowly just like this but will shut off around turns or when slowing down. Is this the same issue? There's no check engine light as of the moment.
2002 Dodge Ram 5.9 L starts and immediately stalls. It doesn't have a mass air flow sensor. I'm going to look at the throttle position sensor, but I'd like your thoughts before I start tearing shit apart. Thanx in advance.
I got the same problem with my 16 Malibu LS but when I put it the MAF sensor connector back it doesn’t shut off. If I also leave it off my fan turns on aggressively. I bought a new one and it does the same thing what do I do?
my friend, I have a mazda familia 2000 model. when i'm driving the revs drop suddenly and it shuts off! there are cases when the engine will start but there are also times when I wait 8 to 10 minutes for it to start! there are times when it doesn't turn off at all on long journeys
Mine did not fix with unplugging the mass air. I already replaced the mass air. This is on a 2006 Scion tC. I'm now thinking is the fuel pump. Do you have a video on that issue?
@@motorcarnut I sprayed the starting fluid in the scion and it was able to idle longer. Also the weather has been very warm and I was able to start the vehicle yesterday night to have it idle for a while when the temperature is cooler. I'm at a loss.

Hey Carnut, i got a 2005 Expedition that starts like a charm, but she then acts like its starved then dies. If you give it some gas it'll last longer, but dies out cause it acts like there's no fuel. Despite having a full tank. Any ideas? Its a 5.4
I have a Ford ranger 2.5tdci auto year 2008. If i start the car it will run but dies after 3 to 4 seconds. I need to press the accelerator while starting it. And release the accelerator after 5 to 6 seconds it start running. Then i can drive as usual after starting the car like that and have to repeat the same process every time when starting it. What might be the issue? Fuel filter checked but mechanic say that's not the issue. Could it be MAF sensor?
I have a 2010 Tiguan that is doing this. “Button for driver assist defective” and “brake error, service now”. Start fine, sound good, shuts off after 2 seconds. Any clue? Thanks
Have to fix those codes first, they are effecting the vehicle running properly. Try clearing all codes with a scan tool then do a throttle relearn procedure. You can search my channel for that. Good luck!
Check the rubber boot that goes into the throttle body for cracks or loose. Make sure your security system is not faulty too. Your car is pretty new shouldn’t be that hard to find
I have a petrol car, when I start the car for the first time in the morning it stalls & turn off, then it will only be normal if engine is warm enough, can you please advise me how to fix this issue? Thanks

The problem sometimes have starting problem and sometimes can start and running and drive the car about 30-40 minute after that the engina stall and cut out immediately and after that if want to start the engine cannot start again. I have already change many sensor and already change fuel pump, throttle body also change timing chain but the problem still the same. Please help me sir if u have any solution cause i have already spent so much for the car.
LOL if it doesn't start then it's a different issue outside of this video that's the best cover my ass I've ever heard you are definitely a legend😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
I have a question for you I have a 2008 Corolla and I think battery is bad I can jump it and it starts remove cables and then it dies within a minute or two, can I get your thoughts on this I am so confused. Nice video by the way
Thank you! Can be your alternator, because once vehicle is started it can run without battery hooked up. Battery should be replaced though because it needs a jump.
@motorcarnut i just put my scanner got a code for mass flow air sensor thanks bro you were right on track needs cleaning or replacement gonna take care of it today 🫡
I have Suzuki Alto 660. It dies down after few seconds. Lights inside the dashboard also not on. No speedometer light, no engine or ignition light on when i try to start
Yes and no, it won’t mechanically damage the engine but it won’t pass emissions test and will get worse gas mileage and poor performance . Because computer isn’t relying on real data only the default program.
@@motorcarnut I replaced the lower intake boot as it was cracked but same So I was thinking maybe maf sensor Thanks for your reply sir I ordered a obd I will put it in and come back with an update so I can tell you the exact issue Thank you 🙏
That is the problem with mine I unplugged and it started on. So I replaced it with the mass airflow system and still shuts off would it might just be dirty?
2014 Toyota Camry shut off while driving.... Turn Over .....but won't start..... Had Map sensor replace ,fuel pump replace, alternator replace.... Still won't work what do you think it is ?..…also timing chain is good...?
my car just stopped driving while on the highway. I go to get gas in a jug to see if that’s the problem nope still wouldn’t start and I knew it really couldn’t be gas cause I just put 40 in the tank.

Dad just got my mom a used VW New Beetle, and it's been doing this randomly - sounds like it starts clean but then stalls less than a second later. Looks like the previous owner may have tried this trick already though, the MAF was disconnected when they got it. It's disappointing, but at the very least it rules out one more problematic part. Thanks for putting this out there!
Sure no problem. Sorry to hear that someone would be dishonest. Also make sure the rubber boot that goes into the intake manifold where the MAF is located is not ripped as well. Good luck
I can fix anything, you just have to remember, it's still a German car built to last IF properly maintained. And yes, not that mechanic friendly if you are not familiar with them.
it worked we plugged it back in to make sure it was that so we pulled it out it started back up about 3 times in about 10 minutes now just won’t start again why
cool video, but why not say the car "dies" instead of "stalled" in your explanation to match the title of the video? consistency is clarity. thanks for the video.
@gurpreetsinghsidhu8811 first this to do is see if the engine is seized, watch my video on how to check that. Next would be a compression test, have video on that as well, make sure oil is not low, battery is charged and go from there.
Don't assume that a cheap MAF that fits will be right for the job. If you are 100% it's the MAF and the car is worth another year,get a genuine part. Probably end up having to get OEM anyway so go straight to it.
The video is not so much about the brand MAF sensor you buy but however I do believe OEM is best but some people may not always have the money to buy OEM. There are many aftermarket parts that are very good quality it just depends on the individuals situation.
my friend, I have a mazda familia 2000 model. when i'm driving the revs drop suddenly and it shuts off! there are cases when the engine will start but there are also times when I wait 8 to 10 minutes for it to start! there are times when it doesn't turn off at all on long journeys. however, when I remove the air sensor that is above the filter, it does not turn off

No, check for leaks in the intake tube, vacuum leak or idle air control first.

No, this is a very broad topic and there can be many different reasons why and I state "Try this First" for a reason.
How much is it to get the air flow repaired
Not much if it’s just the MAF sensor and it’s easy to replace.
It would be great if you could tell me how I can fix this problem

Don't assume that a cheap MAF that fits will be right for the job.
If you are 100% it's the MAF and the car is worth another year,get a genuine part.
Probably end up having to get OEM anyway so go straight to it.
The video is not so much about the brand MAF sensor you buy but however I do believe OEM is best but some people may not always have the money to buy OEM. There are many aftermarket parts that are very good quality it just depends on the individuals situation.
@@motorcarnut Exactly. I have bought a lot aftermarket, in fact almost everything and so far so good
Yep
Hmmm i do t see it on my 2018 Hyundai Tucson
Yours doesn’t have one check for vacuum leaks if you’re having the same issues
@@motorcarnut thanks!
@diydcappa no problem
@@diydcappa results? just curious
my friend, I have a mazda familia 2000 model. when i'm driving the revs drop suddenly and it shuts off! there are cases when the engine will start but there are also times when I wait 8 to 10 minutes for it to start! there are times when it doesn't turn off at all on long journeys. however, when I remove the air sensor that is above the filter, it does not turn off
Sounds like you have a different problem than what’s in this video.
You are awesome!!! Thank you so much!!!!
You’re welcome!
