Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
Maybe double check the wiring and connectors for the MAF. If it acts the same with both installed and/or even with none connected, I would check the connector, and all wiring involved.

Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
Yes, on occasion I have forgotten to re-plug my MAF/IAT after I have had the CAI off, mine acts mighty stubborn and tends to stumble without it.

Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
Okay late reply guys but I bought a new maf with sensor(bosh) and installed it, still running the same, which is barely at all. So I'm disconnecting the battery for about an hour and I'll go from there and see what happens. Ive also done the throttle reset to no avail. Next plan is claiming insurance because somehow my car just caught on fire😂

Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
Hmmmm it's weird make sure everything is connected properly , also if you shanged the sealing make sure it's good on it. And the throttle must not be tighten up like hulk would do. Disconnect the battery it helped for me too for 1 hours then try again. If you could make a video on how the engine runs maybe it would help.

I even tried to do a throttle reset again and nothing changed..

Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
I'm starting to think maybe I disconnected a vacuum line somewhere or the throttle body seal just gave out on me. Do you have a diagram I can look at and go by to check? I'll post a video when I get off.

Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
Have you ever looked at the O-ring on the throttle body?

Re: Maf replacement and still runs cruddy
I'm a couple days late on this, but I took the car to a mechanic here in town and he wiped the codes and said I had no fuel going to my plugs. That 1,3,5 were all misfiring firing. What's weird is I've changed the plugs and wires. He believes my coils are going out but none of this happened until I replaced the maf.. Im taking yalls advice to try the o-ring next and I'm also going to change the filter for good measure. How do I go about checking the o-ring? Do I need to buy another to even check?
The drive home from the shop the car ran smooth.

If it run smooth why not wait until you get a problem.
