Wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this: I'm in my 2k, in the middle of passing a semi on a two-lane highway when my check light comes on suddenly and the engine immediately becomes gutless. I pull over, do some checking and decide it's the MAF. I'm stil < 10k miles, so the dealership tows it to them and takes 2 days to determine the same thing, get a new MAF and install it. My only engine mod at this point is to take out the stock airbox and put in a cone filter. No problems since the repair. Anyone else experience this or was my bad component just a fluke?

 

I'm pulling out of the parking lot after work and I gun it a little to get to the light before it turns red. Suddenly I lose all power and get the check engine light. I was low on gas so I decide to fill up...no go, I unplug the battery over night... no go. The car would stall in D or R unless I let it warm up totally. But still the ECU wouldn't let the engine rev over 2000 rpm so acceleration was SLLOOOWWW.
I also had a cone intake. My MAF sensor was fixed under warranty. My stock intake (w/k&n panel filter) is in place for the winter. Possibly the cone will go back in the summer.

 

Your about the 4th person I've seen with this problem. So far it's been with all aftermarket intakes.

 

i had mine go out 3 times then i decide to get a stillen intake since then nothing has happend at first i had a regular cone filter.the reason is because the temp sensor on the air duct is moving around alot. so secure it and it will ok http://www.streetscenemag.com/issues...ncilrun/31.jpg
