Car runs like crap after header install!!! Please help
here is my problem, after i installed my LT headers and exhaust my car will drive fine for about a mile then it quickly goes down hill from there and within about ten miles it will barely stay alive. it loads up really bad, sputters, backfires, and surges horribly, i hooked it up to a scanner and this is what it reads
p0102 mass or volume air flow circuit low input
fuel sys 1 ol
fuel sys 2 ol
calc load (%) 1.18
ect 197
stft b1 0.00
ltft b1 25.00
stft b2 0.00
ltft b2 25.00
map(inHg) 7.09
eng rpm 2141
veh speed 35
maf(lb/min) .31
tps(%) 0.00
and i unhooked the maf and it still reads .31
so What the hell is going on with my car???

EGR id say, mine did it too. Pretty much drive it as minially as possible, and buy new plugs... and when u go for a tune, change the plugs, because there not gunna look good. My car had the EXACT same problem. After the tune it was all good.

blowing eng sensor fuse you should check your o2 wiring. my headers were wrapped, tied, and coated. and my o2 wires were lengthened and re-routed and it still got burnt when a zip tie melted and this problem you have is exactly what happened to me. check it out bro!

Your O2 sensors are probably not working right anymore,
either unhooked, physically damage or swapped, or just
too cool to work anymore and making for false trimming
whacking the mixture in closed loop.
