Sounds like a bad MAF signal....

What mods do you have?...

Posted by bobbystang (Member # 2747) on :

basics cai bbk, gears xpipe flows but i cant see how it would be maf? i dont really know though

Posted by TURLX50 (Member # 3928) on :

sounds like tps throttle position sensor

Posted by Black94 5.0 (Member # 655) on :

Are you getting a "check engine light"?....

I had problems getting the MAF to read well from the fender mount cold air kit I had...When I called Pro-M they told me that the air flow caractoristics(sp) change becuase of the 90 degree elbow on the cold air kit and that cuases the maf to read incorrectly...

i am having the same problem...talked with bill at apex and he said byron will look at it in two weeks...i replaced the tps sensor today...no change...the other day i replaced the idle control control valve...didnt help...i have spent almnost 900 in tunes and assessments..no one can seem to fix...i am pissed

damn that sucks for you spending all that money, yah i have no idea, on another forum they said it might be the car after being in storage and it should work itself out but idk man this happened once before i put it away it can be very dangerous its really pissing me off please someone find the solution

Why dont you listen to the advise given to you?...Do you have a check engine light?...Why dont you put the stock air box back on and see if that makes a difference...Did you even read the TPS voltage?....Even if it's not the TPS, CAI kit atleast by checking them you rule them out and are one step closer to figuring your problem out...

I'm sorry, but I hate post where people ask for help and dont even try the advise given to them.... [patriot]
