    noob---Please help.. MAF issues.

    The car has 160k. I replaced all gaskets, replaced stock injectors with 19lb injectors, all fluids in the car and o2 sensor. The car has a dinan chip, intake and exhaust. The car was bought with this MAF that has a top opened and someone before me tweeked with it. The MAF seems to stay open as there is no spring that has any life. It seems tp run rich and has some slight power loss. The idle is rough. I got another MAF but the car doesnt wanna stay alive at all with that one ....it just dies.. Maybe the springs are too tight in that one.??

    I am know this is a common topic and i have NO vaccum leaks. I have replaced every fuckin gasket and seal and hose.

    Please let me know if there is a place that can rebuild my new "used" maf or where can I get one that is GUARANTEED to work.

    Thanks for not flaming the NOOB.

          Get a used, UNOPENED AFM and see how that works. They really don't "go bad" all that much, unless you screw with them

            AFM Has been replaced and it iles pretty good.. I dont know if i need a different chip or something.. The dinan one seems like its a little weak on power.
