Engine dies when braking

BadAndy · 05-23-2006

so i was at nopi and my engine died once after the finish line when i was braking. then it happened again when i had to brake hard for a stop light was wondering if any GTP people know what that was about and im thinking that it is something to do with the transmission? i have an SES light on and it is throwing up two codes one for my Mass Air Flow Sensor and the other is for my O2 sensor.

You should never race your car with any maff codes or 02 codes. What are the numbers. It dieing probley has to do with your maff.

yeah i know the SES light came on when i turned my car back on. umm the codes are

P0103
MAF or VAF
Circuit Malfunction

P0141
O2 Sensor Heater
Circuit Malfunction
(Bank 1 Sensor 2)

That is what it reads after i scanned it.umm yeah im getting it checked tomorrow but it would be nice to hear what everyone thinks before hand.

Maff can get that code if you take the screen off. It can also get that code if you have a very short air filter assembley. Or don't have a filter.

your 02 is toast more than likely.

hey so they said that it is because of where the alcohol kit is spraying that move it i was wondering where exactly did anyone else put the nozzle so that they could get rid of this problem?
if maybe some one could post some pics of where they installed theirs, that would be great
