My last MAF

This is my last MAF thread. On Sat. I finally got my updated MAF installed, all I gotta say is WOW my car revs past 4500k again, and power is restored. I also replaced the PCV valve and WOW no more pinging or rattling. I'm at 114k and the thing feels brand new. Now all I have to worry about is oil changes, tires, and brakes. Yeehaw!

LOL that was a good one I am on my 5th MAF... and my Max only has 90K miles.... need to do a PCV soon- but I don't ping or anything- she only gets 93-up octane gas- sometimes I even treat her to some 104 octane Mobil One all the time.

Sorry about the YEEHAW! LOL! I'm not even a cowboy! Although, I do like to listen to country while I take a ****. Anywho I love my updated MAFFY


I always used Premium I think the rattle had something to do with the clogged PCV or maybe weird *** air/fuel ratios caused by the crapiold MAF.

I just disconnected the battery. I asked a few people on the org and like they said whatever dawg yo dawg whatever...So I came to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter. I think the only update you really need is the O2 sensor reflash thing.

Updated part will read diff parameters now and ECU won't recognize em, might give U faulty readings in the future.
