What have you checked so far ? Radiator full of coolant ? Heater hoses getting hot ?

So many things,Hannah,can be wrong to cause that. Did it fail all at once? Describe what happens EXACTLY. What make and model car? What year? What size engine? How many miles on vehicle? Any collisions recently? don-ohio (:^)

P0102 OBD-II Trouble Code - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Low Input

What does that mean?
Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit. A more technical description would be that the MAF circuit had lower than expected voltage (air flow). Other MAF sensor circuit DTC trouble codes are P0100, P0101, P0103, and P0104.

Symptoms
You will likely not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness.

Causes
A code P0102 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
* The MAF may be dirty or otherwise contaminated (Note: if you use a reusable oiled air filter, be careful not to apply too much oil or that can contaminate the MAF).
* The MAF sensor may be faulty
* The vehicle computer may be faulty (very rare)

Possible Solutions
The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:
* Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
* Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor.
* Take the MAF out and clean it using a spray cleaner such as brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. Be gentle with the sensor.
* Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
* Replace the MAF sensor.

Hope help with this (remember rated this post).

Do you have a check engine light that is flashing, if it is you need to have the fault codes checked with a scan tool to see what is causing this.

Could be bad fuel pump or plugged fuel filter. At least change the filter to see. don-ohio (:^) AmanStino Ultra Slim 4 Port USB 3 0 Data Hub white AmanStino

First try to adjust your steering wheel in different positions and try them , seeing if it may be the hookup in the steering column .Check your fuse boxes also ,make sure the wires are good and secure not worn . They are from the same source so the rest of you lights would work .Good luck to you .
