I've been trying to test my MAF. I backprobed the Maf like the manual states but i've been wondering if I'm on the wrong setting.

My multimeter is a pocket multimeter from power tools

when i check the maf its on the DC V side like this on 10.

I get a reading of .8 at idle and 2.5 at 4k rpm on the ac10v like this. (the red) It's way off i know.

When i click it to the AC V on 10(i dont have a picture but i just click it 4 times counterclockwise.. look at the above pictures). I get a little past 2 on the ac10v scale.

So my question is... Is it DC V (10) or AC V (10) that i should be using to test the MAF. And my second question... Am I reading it correctly on the needle? (the red scale where it says AC 10V right)

Much appreciated.
