**RPM Flutter**

[BLKOUT]

When slowing down from 55 and above and the tranny is in 4th, once the RPMS reach 1000, it shoots up to 1500, then back to 1000, then up to 1500 as it slows, it stops the fluttering once I come to a stop. Now this only happens when it is 4th gear and i am slowing, no problems in lower gears and no issues with acceleration. Any ideas?

2005 hatch, apprx. 85000km, auto. tranny was flushed at around the 40000 mark.

Thanks in advance!

Check the gas cap, MAF sensor, and other elements along the intake and exhaust system to make sure there's a good seal. It might just be the MAF.

Thanks 3GFX. how do I go about checking the MAF sensor?

when i had problems with the maf, it was the wires that were ripped leading right into the sensor - lack of slack. i also cleaned the sensor while i was at it with a q-tip and alcohol.

check the map sensor again

mcguyver was having the same prob as well as kokkino and on my old 3 also had this prob

first check and make sure your maf it is tight on your intake (mcguyvers was loose and caused this prob)
second give the wires on the maf sensor a quick tug cus the position of the where the maf sits on your intake is a little further out than your stock air box that it pulls on the wires (my old 3 and kokkinos had this causing this prob)

quick fix go to a scrap yard get a maf sensor from a car and extend the wires if the wires are pulled out of the socket
