probably the maf...

clean the connections on that plug that goes to that do dad on the air filter :-)

thanks ill try that...do you think it could be the distributor. cuz it wont start since i pulled the plugs out and tried to get a better connection.

MAFS

also.. if you put an aftermarket intake on.. maybe one of your intake hoses popped off.. or even if you didnt put an aftermarket intake.. just an intake hose in general may have popped off.

got any friends with 240's nearby that you can try their mafs out? thats how i troubleshooted my problem. similar to yours

yeap FTW check intake and c if its loose and check maf, my friends mk1 does that sh1t every onece in a while

[chea240]

no aftermarket parts on it at all...but ill check clean the connector and check the intake and hoses tom....would this cause it to idle low constantly...cuz it started doin it out of no where...also what are the chances its the distributor?? how do i check the ecu to see if it will throw me anything?? thanks guys for everything.

[chea240]

are there any mafs that are compatible with the ka24de or not cause i dont know anyone else around me that has one i can test on my car.??

Just pull the plug off, if corroded clean the connections with eletronic cleaner, very fine sandpaper on a screwdriver, let it dry, plug up and try to start..

[chea240]

so i disconnected the mafs and it looked fine but i tried to clean it anyway with the screwdriver idea. and ever since that it doesnt even crank. it just clicks....i did pull the distributor before though..would i have to reset that correctly or does it not matter...im lost...please help.

make sure you have no vacum leaks anywherethat can cause it to do that

for sure the MAF though

go to a local junk yard and look for a MAF it shouldnt be more then $25.

if all else fails i would check the ecu for the heck of it to see which code pops up
