EZ Lube messed my 92Q, what do i do?

[LAQ]

got an oil change today and afterwards, check engine light came on and it wont go off.

EZ lube dudes obviously deny it's not their fault, but it never happended before. they think air flow meter went out, but why right after they worked on it?

im pissed. any suggestions?should i go to dealer and see whats up?

Daedalus? what do you think?

[PalmerWMD]

Askthem to describe to you how they changed the oil.

If they talk about changing from top ( which is not the approved way for this car) .Then you knows its their fault.Lots of stories of MAF problems from chaning oil from top w/ disconnecting MAF.

I always say at least 3 times to change from bottom if I ver go anywhere.

fredi dunno how they changed the oil, but i saw them pull the air filter part to check and it's connected to maf, right?

damn----

[maxnix]

Yep. If they didn't unpug it correctly and reconnect it....

i called this place locally and they want 125 for diagnostics.does this sound fair?

[DAEDALUS]

Not if all they're going to do is read off the error code. You can do that in about 15 minutes. "Diagnostics" and "service" are pretty broad terms. Make sure you know what you're getting, in detail.

[LAQ]

can u or are u able to check it out daedalus?them guys told me, 125 for diagnostics and they will try to reconnect it or something and it will be added to repair costs.

i'd really like to talk some shop with you as well if u r avail.

Try to look around under the hood to see any unplugged connector. I forgot to reconnect one of the connector and the check engine soon light came on.

How does the car drive? A bad MAF connection will cause serious driveability problems.

as you guys might predict, it drives like crap, very rough.andyes, they and i also checked all the connectors to make sure. but nada.

[cweberj30t]

Sounds like a MAF to me. If you can get in there, wiggle the sensor and see if that helps at all.

[psychic_mechanic]

Yeah, they aren't kidding about wiggling the MAF. I checked my air filter when I first got the car, and made it run like crap. I had to unplug it again and clean all the contacts and reconnect it with dielectric silicone to waterproof it.
