Upon further inspection of my tranny I found out my tranny sensors are missing I got some from the junk yard but I for got which one goes where so all I need to know is does it matter to me they all look the same so I really wouldnt care how it goes but I belive that's my problem with the whole car stalling on me when I go over 3500 rpm in any gear after 2nd. So of any of you could help that would be cool thanks btw I have a 90 s13 soch

The 3500 RPM problem sounds like your Mass Air Flow Sensor messing up...

The tranny sensors don't affect the operation of the engine...

alot of ppl keep on telling me alot of diffrent things first they told me to change the cluster then to change the speed sensor are you sure it the air maf?

CSil80 · 03-26-2008, 12:54 AM

Yea that sounds the most likely problem to me. Check your MAF. If all the connections are fine, then just clean it out.
The cluster and speed sensor wouldn't cause an engine problem. (as far as I know)

cool what should I use to clean the maf ?

They sell maf cleaner or u could use carb cleaner but it's kinda strong... It's like 5 bucks for a bottle... It really works tho..

Yea, don't use carb cleaner, it can mess it up. Maf cleaner is the best, I mean, thats what it was intended for.

tanks13 · 03-26-2008, 02:35 AM

cool thanks for all the responses I'll let you guys know I'd if it worked or not and if not any one selling a maf for a soch?

DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY · 03-26-2008, 03:04 AM

the maf might not be it. but id clean it and test it anyway. weird how it only happens from 3rd to 5th gear. so it does allow you to go past 3500 in 1st and 2nd ? see if you could find a good maf just to test.

im assuming its 5 speed rite? i had a similiar problem like that and i switched to an auto ecu and it fixed everything. good luck
