Default maf wire shortin out?

i was wondering if anyone has ever had a problem with a wire touching something it wasnt supposed to and causing the car to run badly and misfire. im throwin a mass air code and the car runs terrible out of nowhere every few minutes but i swapped it for a new maf and nothing changed. maybe an electrical problem? that would explain why everytime i swap the o2s or the maf, which moves the wires around, i get about 10 minutes of perfect driving before the problem comes back.

Check and make sure the "ENG SEN" fuse is not blown. It's located in the engine compartment.

Did you check the ENG SEN fuse? The MAF and 02's are on the same circuit along with a couple other things...if you have a M6 it'll also make it hard to get in reverse.

its just the connector's for the sensors gm sells the connectors with 6" of wire so you can splice it in when it was bad like i said my maf didnot want to work and they way i found it was bad was my scanner was hooked up and i was wiggling the wire on the map sensor and i was gitting different pressure reading with the car off
