Yes CJ is on the right track. But you need to take his answer a step further.

I read that when you change your MAF you need to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes to clear the ECU. Then the ECU will re-learn the new MAF settings, values, calibration... and run correctly. Otherwise the old MAF values are locked in the ECU.


*Have your radio code ready since when you disco the battery it will think it was stolen.
