Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 –
Below Limit


Possible fault cause
♦ Incorrect signal from MAF sensor
♦ Fuel pressure too high
♦ Fuel injector leaking
♦ EVAP canister purge valve open

my guess is MAF

I don't see any wrong doing by using the cleaner on the MAF. From time to time, I do remove the MAF and clean it with electronic cleaner. I just did a week ago. Also, I do have K&N intake too!

I think little more than 5K miles with a lot of aggressive driving. Why?

Just bought a used one off our marketplace.....

Read plenty of threads but figured I'd ask you also. Thus ballparking the supposed MAF issue.

Listen, that what I was afraid before I bought it. Found out later that MAF issue was involve with TT not NA. On top of that owners over sprayed oil cleaner on the filter. I have no problem since installed which involved many miles aggressively driving with the car. I only lightly oiled the filter every time I washed it.
