something about the maf....no information about mileage

 

do you think i need a new maf?

 

post a pic of your cai setup....more than likely your maf isnt sealing against the pipe....

 

ive since changed it to short ram and it works fine,i thought the motor just couldnt pull the air that far,ever heard of that before?

 

nope,never heard of that...more than likely again its a seal issue

 

if your not throwing a CEL its a seal around the MAF issue, get a tube for a bike tire, cut it to fit around the maf and put it there like a gasket kinda thing, everything should be fine ...

 

It might also be your MAF being dirty and need cleaing, if not its the seal and the bike tube gasket will fix it.
