So this is NOT TJ related and I know it shouldn’t be posted in this section but I’m in dire need of smart people knowledge. Aka tj forum knowledge. My girlfriend has an 07 FJ cruiser that was throwing code P0101 “mass or volume air flow sensor “A” circuit range/performance” I replaced the MAF with a spectre one and the code went away for a week and then came back. Since it was under a 3rd party warranty i brought it in to the dealership and they said it needed a OEM sensor. Well before Spending the money, I exchanged the spectre one for another spectre one which caused the engine to misfire. It also would start and then instantly die. Finally it stayed alive and the rpms were bouncing up and down. The current codes that are being thrown are the P0101, P0171, and P0174. I just got an OEM sensor and the first couple start ups the car would just die after being started. Finally it stayed running and I test drove it around the neighborhood. All was going great and then going down a hill all the lights came on on the dash and then I lost power steering but the car did not die. I cut the car off and started it but it instantly died. In order to keep it running I have to give it gas or it will immediately die. If i rev it, the car kind of sputters. It’s not a consistent rev sound if that makes sense. I was thinking when I lost power steering that it could be the alternator but everything starts up fine and is going fine. Over the break we were at my moms house but school starts tomorrow so I really need it fixed to get back. The FJ forum does not respond at all. All help is GREATLY appreciated.
