    Miller maf problem

    Hey guys ... I bought a used miller maf with a 19# 173 chip maf appears to be the correct one as I've seen through pix and checking the pn I'm pretty sure the maf it self is bad the car idles well and I can drive the car but I don't have mid throttle it just falls on its face. I do have full throttle though with no problems all the way up to redline. I called miller and the want $300 for a new maf?!? I found some on eBay for about $50-60 my other problem is I don't have the adaptor so I kind of just have the harness pushed into the pins , it seems to fit tight but I does look a little hack. My question is ... Is the maf it self my problem ? I'm also getting a cel for bad afm . Thanks for the help in advance guys !

    you have to cut pin 12 coming from the ecu harness and connect to pin 37 for the maf to work properly.. just making sure you did that :)

    those are detailed instructions

            hahah damn.. umm ik when i had mine i had the plug facing down rather than up and that caused me some issues. otherwise it seems the plug could be bad.. unless its just not getting good contact because of the way you have it connected.. it would be nice if you could test it with a good one..
