Something that affects the MAF is air temp. Is your air temp probe mounted correctly or is it by chance up against the radiator?

Air temp probe? That's a new one, I did get an air temp sensor fault at one point but was told it was from pulling the maf. It's behind the radiator? I just cut the plastic out behind my radiators

Edit: can someone confirm the intake air temp is not a part of the MAF? My understanding was they were both integrated.

The air temp probe should be in a grommet in the driver side intake to the radiator. Since you have done so much in such a short time and may not have known it's possible it is now where it shouldn't be?

OOPS Passenger side intake.

Well I just checked in the Bently manual and it says "Hot film mass airflow sensor with intake air temperature sensor" Learn something new, I thought they were independent in the early cars.
