Re: 96 z28 no start

You have to fix that tear, even if you use duct tape (on the outside, not the inside of the elbow) it's better than letting all that air bypass the MAF sensor. That could be causing the P0100 code, which is set when engine air flow MAF measurement should be changing, but isn't. And all the air entering through that tear is dirty, unfiltered air that is causing excessive engine wear.

Flooding on start could be due to leaking injectors, or coolant temp sensor indicating very low temperature.

Re: 96 z28 no start

This little scanner will read the live data. MAF will be shown in airflow values.

Amazon.com: RioRand RS310 OBDII/EOBD Code Reader Powerful Faster &Newest car coverage than 300 and 309 Scanner: Automotive Amazon.com: RioRand RS310 OBDII/EOBD Code Reader Powerful Faster &Newest car coverage than 300 and 309 Scanner: Automotive

Or any MS310 is the same.

Lmao......exactly that would definitely be logical to fix the elbow

It should. They merged the part numbers for the LT1 and LS1 MAFs years ago. I don't know why you would buy one before fixing the elbow first, though. MAFs rarely go bad, unless fooled with.

Re: 96 z28 no start

At any point have you checked for a plugged catalytic converter, if you still have them?

Please try and type more carefully.

Re: 96 z28 no start

Sounds like the MAF and elbow are beat up. Did you just discover that the MAF was in this condition?

Re: 96 z28 no start

There is no EGR "pump". Why are you asking about the EGR system?
