ahahahaha this thread is from 2003

HAHAHAHA. wow, back from the dead for sure.

since you have a mitchell

can u find me the pinout for a 95 m3 maf pinout...

i dont have a wiring tail so i need a picture of the maf showing the pinouts...

thanks

Why don't you guys use a heated wire MAF from a Thunderbird or Tauris SHO or something easy & cheap to find? mine works great. The PPO got it from Split Second & you can go into any junkyard and grab one for $5... It's easy, cheap & really makes a difference. Oh & I didn't do the install but nothing blew up!

yeah, i can't believe it. I honestly thought that a '97 and '98 328i would be using the same stuff for the most part.... aparently NOT! lesson learned.

'97 328s probably used a bosch maf w/ 4 pins. The '98 used a seimens MAF which is ALSO 4pins. I was looking @ the '97 diagram because that's all i had @ my disposal. I went and downloaded the newest mitchell 2003 and looked @ the '98 diagrams. Sure as shit, the wiring is slightly different.

oh yeah, i blew everything up. my car is now at the local garage getting an m20 replacement...

big deal, anyone can make this mistake. i'll just buy another maf.

I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING BEFORE YOU BLOW SHIT UP

:roll:

yeah, i tried asking on bimmerforums and nobody would help me.

i fried my MAF anyways. The units from '97 and '98 are different. I had a '98 unit and thought it would be OK to use '97 diagrams... WRONG!

Trent is the smartest man alive.

Where did you download the Mitchell 2003? This would come in handy for a lot of us.

You fried the MAF you just got?

[EVOIIIM3]

Wasn't there another post on his?

What you have to do, is connect a volt meter with some data logging capability. Fluke makes a great on $550

Then go drive around in all gears at all throttle positions, then map out the voltage with that. If you really want to do it right, add on a POT TPS piggybacking the normal TPS and create a 3d map of voltage relative to throttle position.

Then you can see what voltage the DME needs for a MAF and try to match the voltages.

I have no idea what the voltage output would be. I tried askign E36 owners to go out and test it but no one would.
