Po102 code

Asked by Hanky2skanky Mar 06, 2017 at 05:09 PM about the 2000 Buick Park Avenue Ultra FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Buick Park Ave Ultra 2000. Car will drive fine for
about 25 highway miles, then, when coming to a
stop, the RPM will stick high, while still in drive
(about 1,500). Then when I put it in park the RPM
go up to about 3,000 and stay there. It throws the
MAF sensor code, so I cleaned it. Works for a
couple months then does same thing, AND the
battery won't hold a charge.

also ensure that the air filter is clean- if the filter is clogged you can have the p0102 error code. good luck

Also when I bought the car it had a sh*tty Walmart battery in it that was still under warranty, so when they go bad I just keep bringing them back to get a new one for free. It always runs fine on a fresh battery.

Make sure the charging system is working. Just stop at an auto parts store and have it checked.

Well, once the system thinks that the MAF is voltage is low, the ECU dumps fuel and adjusts the TB flap- that explains the high idle.
