Aj check your fuses, I bought a MAF for no reason due to not checking my fuse that is related to the maf. Also, did you plug your 02s in the front and 02 sims into the rear ones?

If you want you can get your rear 02 sims tuned out like I did which cost me 30 bucks. I think getting a tune will help. You have the same mods as me, I know my car would run a little stronger with a tune but I'm waiting until I get a stall, cam or anothe rpower mod.

Check the cheap, easy to fix things such as the fuse and work from there.....

I just checked all my fuses with a multimeter and everything is fine. What would cause my MAF to F*CK up? I never touched it.

They can fail just like anything else. Over oiling the filter. Clean the MAF and see what happens.

I talked to a local reputable tuner and he said its most likely my MAF is f*cked and I'll need a new one. He also said the other codes he can tune them out because they're not that big of a deal.

I just cleaned my MAF and there was a little paint chip on one of the sensors of my MAF. My car felt a whole lot STRONGER, now I'm going to scan my car again to see if it will throw that MAF code.

Sounds like you got the MAF straight. clear the codes, and hopefully they wont come back. What did you do for the rear O2 sensors?

Head over to Synergy and get a dyno tune. I gained 17rwhp from a dyno tune on my lid/catback/gears WS.6. After our wedding im probably going back up there, to straighten out the tune in my current car.

Yeah I'm gonna scan my car again to see if its throwing that MAF code. Also, I'm going to have Newtech tune my car and not Synergy.

Default What about this code?

P0801- Reverse Inhibit Control Circuit Malfuntion.

I've noticed since I installed my LT's that its hard as hell to get it into reverse now. I know it caused my computer to throw this code. What do you guys think?

Have you gotten it checked out yet or the codes deleted and seen them come back on yet. There is nothing else anyone can help you with until you get that done. You need to fix the problems that you know are wrong first.

Do you think if I get new O2's it will solve the O2 sensor problems? I had my friend plug in his device and we went driving around and it said that my O2's arent warming up enough. Also, I'm throwing a new code P0155

Ok, I found out the problem. I jacked my car up and it turns out that my O2 extensions were all burnt from my headers. I plugged in a new O2 extension and all those codes are now gone, BUT I'm still throwing codes (3).

P0102- Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input.
P0801- Reverse Inhibit Control Circuit Malfuntion.
P0803- 1-4 Upshift (Skip Shift) Solenoid Control Ciruit Malfunction.

I cleaned my MAF and I even switched with my friends MAF and its still throwing the code. The connectors seem fine and not corroded.

Yes, I had the codes deleted and they came back, so today I reset the computer and the codes came back about 5 mins later. Just so I know I did it right, what's the right way to do the reset?
