I went back out and put the stock one back on, and it ran perfect. since I put a new sensor in the new intake could that sensor be bad?

and wat will disconecting the battery for 30 mins do?

then you probably have something installed incorrectly. make sure the maf sensor is in all the way, and the hose on the backside of the intake tube is ALL the way on with the hose clamp too. you didn't mess with the throttle body during install did you?

Zac007

The sensor is in all the way, and No I didnt harm the throttle body. do u think that the sensor could be bad? and like I said I put the stock on back on and it works fine. that is why i am confused

if it works with the stock one then the sensor is fine. theres a leak somewhere.

Zac007

I am using a different sensor though, I have one in the stock one and one in the takedo

I didn't know it was a Nissan screwdriver, learn something new every day. I always thought it was called tamper proof torx

Did you touch your throttle body plate; maybe cleaned it wiped it down, you know, since you had the tube off. If you did you will have to relearn it and hope you didnt screw it up. I did this and had the same things happen you are describing.

I'm not saying you "harmed" it, but even a slight touch hosed my calibration up.

you can get those screws out with a small flathead screwdriver. i replaced mine with some SS allen bolts.

REplaced the sensor and problem solved works great now.....
