Alright guys got one for you. Half of my MAF wires leading to the harness have been cut from some how making contact with the accessory belt. Can I just cut out the damaged sections and replace them by splicing in new ones? Or would I be better off getting a whole new
Back story on my discovery.
For about 3 months I have been having some hesitating issues while accelerating only in 1-3 gear, car acts like it was getting fuel pulled so it was jerking, but wasn't happening all the time. I was initially thinking it was a tune issue, so I took my data logger out today for a run on the Nurburgring. It was doing it real bad on the track while I was logging it. After the first lap it stopped doing it almost all together. But at the end of the 2nd lap the ESP kicked off, and I got a check engine light. The codes it gave were, P0101, P0102, and P0112. I ended my day and drove it home. I pulled up the codes and they were MAF sensor performance, MAF sensor circuit low frequency, and Intake air temp sensor circuit low voltage. So I thought, that with all the codes point to a MAF issue to look at it. When I opened the hood, I could see the wires from the MAF almost sitting on the accessory belt. On further look I could see where half of the wires have been cut. I have rotated the MAF housing to get the wires up higher so they wont rub. Now my question is, should I just cut the bad wires and splice in new ones into it and then re-wrap the loom, or should I try to get a whole new wiring harness? I see the pic for a better description.
