Default Idling

Have had some great help from this forum on my 2006 Crossfire Convertible idling problem. Car still runs fine, just the idling is all over the place. It looks like the throttle Body and maybe the MAF sensor could be bad. Any one on here know where a person can get some replacements for these?
Thanks

Everything mechanical is the same as a 2003 Mercedes SLK320 unless it is an SRT-6.

Have you tried cleaning the MAF? Also you might just need seals for the MAF.
NOTE: Be very careful taking the locking ring off the MAF. It's brittle and may break. They are still available, let me know if you need the part number.
Here are a couple of links for the MAF: Link for MAF seals: MAF O-rings
Rock Auto FCPEuro

Here is a video on how to clean the MAF and throttle body:

Thanks for the input. Couple of questions however.
What O ring do I need for the MAF. Also do you know where I can get the O Ring for the Throttle body?
Thanks.

Hi Buzz,
I have posted links for everything needed in that last post I made. When you look at the links for the "O-rings" you can read the descriptions and it will tell you which one goes where.
There are 2 "O-Rings" which are actually rubber seals.
The first one goes between the throttle body and the elbow for the MAF sensor.
The second goes between the MAF sensor and the elbow.

There are 2 links for places that sell the MAF sensor. One is labeled "Rock Auto" and the other is labeled "FCPEuro".
The link for the MAF "O-rings" is labeled "MAF O-Rings".
Click on the links in the previous reply, and you will see what I was talking about.

I finally got around to working on the idling problem with my Crossfire. I appreciate all the help and hints. Replaced the MAF system and the Throttle body, and the car now runs like it is supposed to. thanks again for all the help.
