Hello, I changed the clutch on my car. After I put everything back together she wouldn't go over 3 grand. Had diagnostics done and it said it was the max flow sensor. So I replaced that and the air filter but I still can't get her over 3 grand. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Since you had things apart for the clutch and the MAF, are you certain there are no vacuum leaks? Is everything back together and tight as far as the air inlet tube?

I think the first thing I would be checking is for a vacuum leak. Have you done that yet? Take a look through this link and see if you can find anything leaking.

Also, let me know what the code/s are and if there is anything other you can think of that may be helpful for the diagnosis.

Again, provide the code or codes you found.

Take care,
Joe
