Default damn it....I lost my idle this morning...

the car was fine last night...and now I got no idle...unplug the MAF and I'm fine. I'm looking for leaks but can't find any.

Default haha...must be all the test runs last night! =)

learn to say NO...i've been doing it. I do one run per meet. nothing else. If it's in edgewater...no ride.

that was insane right? 3 cops within .5 mile.

Default sounds like a MAF issue

since it's fine sans MAF. I had bad WOT when I had MAF connectivity issues.

Default how to...

1. Make sure your MAF plug is oriented vertically...having the MAF installed at funky angles has been shown to lower the life of it. It maybe that the board and wires cant support it's own weight, let alone vertical accelerations. Or it could be a touchy connection. Did you get codes?

2. To clean. remove maf assembly
throw the whole thing in a zip lock bag. pour in rubbing alcohol. close bag. Slosh back and forth for a few minutes. Remove from bag. Let Air dry. Reinstall.
