MAF & IAT unplugged (how bad did it hurt performance?)
ok guys, im oficially an idiot. i was cleaning my car yesterday and i looked at my lid and noticed something, my Maf sensor and IAT sensor were both unplugged. i already have a SES light because i dont have egr and air so im sure it threw a code but i couldnt see it.
i know i unplugged it a while ago when i cleaned of my Maf screen but i guess i forgot to plug it back in.
i raced a few people since then, and the car felt real sluggish in lower rpms driving normal but now its nice and smooth in low rpms. but i havnt gotten on it lately.
how bad do you think this stupid mistake hurt my performance.
i would think it would be a lot since its not getting any readings and running in open loop.
