Hi All,

Today the car just cranked and cranked with no start.
I had a post about this a few months ago and it's been starting
immediately like clockwork since.

This time I remembered to check OBD codes first
and found on Port-2: 1-2-1 MAF (AMM) signal missing or faulty
I unhooked the battery for 10 seconds and reconnected.
ECU reset
And zing the car started, and I wasn't late for my appointment.

I had paid close attention to the AMM connector and switched from
dielectric silicone to Penetrox there, and all seemed stable.
The AMM connector pins looked good to the evil eye.
Then I had to remove the air box to replace the washer pump and had the
AMM connector apart again.

Is this a connector problem or a funky ECU?

Something forces the ECU to fail, maybe a funky connector
Maybe old and tired out of limit caps in the ECU?
But rebooting the ECU resets back to happy motoring,
at least for a while.

Keep a 10MM swivel head gear wrench around for good luck.

Go figure, Bill
