Hi! This is Anthony, a Honda master technician here on Just Answer. Sorry to see you’re having trouble with your Honda. You have two separate issues going on here. Just Answer allows one issue per conversation thread. Which issue would you like to address first?

Is the check engine light on?

No

Ok. You would need to perform a fuel pressure test and see if the pressures are dropping out while driving. Also, the [catalytic converter](/topics-catalytic-converter-honda/) could be clogged and when the car gets hot, it can’t release the [exhaust](/topics-exhaust/) gases.You would also need to find out if the MAF is reading high or low.

Ok thxWhat's MAF
