MAF and smoking.

Postby seanlitar » Sun Jul 12, 2026 5:01 pm

What is the correct MAF reading at idle for a transit 2.2 2016.
I have 2 vans. one reads 9g/s and the other 13g/s.
I fitted recon engine, new throttle valve and turbo, recon fuel valves and the van is smoking when reving at standstill, and accelerating.This van reads 13g/s and I am wondering if being overfueled. The van has DPF delete and EGR blanked,
. Recent map to original. Just think its running rich at low RPM. If MAF is false high will it overfuel?
Any ideas thanks.

Swap the sensor and check if the values change between vans.

I tried that so its not the sensors. Each van reading is the same.

Checked your turbos? Turbine bearing slop, vane free movement and actuator operation?
