91 740 Wagon - MAF sensor issues?

May 23, 2007 1 Replies

Can oil fumes get in the fuel mixing chamber, and can they make it out to the Mass Air Flow monitor and fowl it?



My car started having problems starting right after my flame guard got clogged and blew out some seals.



I pulled the MAF the other day, and it had a very light coat of oil on it, it looked like. Could it possibly be getting fowled from the air filter side?


I haven't personally seen it happen, but I suspect it's possible. I've heard that replaceable oiled air filters can fowl AMMs.
