I spoke directly with the owner said he won’t charge me more than $90 to tell me what’s wrong with it.

If you are so sure that it’s the MAF sensor, what do you suggest I do to confirm that. I feel like a hamster in a wheel with this car to tell you the truth. At this point I need to know for sure what the problem is instead of trying to diy it.

Let me know what you recommend me to do last minute before taking it to the shop

ps(I can’t get a hold of a factory service manual)

Do you have a multimeter? You need a service manual to tell you what to test.

Yeah I’ll see what I can.
what do yall say the odds are of it being a maf sensor.
what if I just buy a cheap one one eBay and roll the dice on that fixing my issue?

Just to recap where the car is at it’s still misfiring even after everything that’s been done. Plugs, coils, injectors, timing verified, burnt valve repaired, ECM reset with crank relearn, and even a new crankshaft position sensor. Compression is strong across all cylinders, so mechanically it should be sound. Despite that, it’s still running very rough. It won’t rev properly, shakes at idle, and it’s running extremely rich. The raw fuel smell is strong, like it’s dumping gas. Current codes are P0102 (MAF voltage low), P0172 (system too rich), P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire), and P0300 (random misfire). What’s odd is the misfire keeps moving. Before it was cylinders 2 and 4, now it’s mainly 1.
I’m just trying to figure out the right next step instead of continuing to throw parts at it.

I reviewed your live data.
  1. The "P0102 - MAF Circuit Low" Code: This is the key. The ECU is explicitly telling you it sees a problem with the MAF signal.
  2. The MAF Voltage (1.45V): At a warm idle (800 RPM), a healthy MAF sensor on a K24W1 should read around 1.0V to 1.2V. Your reading of 1.45V is too high for a normal idle. However, the more important detail is the calculated flow.
  3. The MAF Flow (5.40 g/s): A 2.4L engine at warm idle should pull in roughly 2.5 to 3.5 grams/second of air. Your reading of 5.40 g/s is almost double what it should be. The sensor is telling the ECU that twice as much air is entering the engine as there actually is.
  4. The Rich Condition (P0172): This is the direct result of the bad MAF data.

    replace the MAF
  5. i forgot to mention. Shut off the car. Unplug the MAF. Start the car back up? If it runs significantly better, the problem is MAF. When MAF is unplugged, ECU will use calculated value of MAP and engine RPM.

Had something unexpected come up this weekend,
hopefully within the next week or two I’ll have an answer thanks
