make sure its plugged in, check and see if you blew one of your fuses, forgot which one it is but its common to blow and will through this code. Have them reset the codes. I doubt you broke the actual sensor

well I had them reset the codes and it came back on and then it went off for a day and then it came back on. I will check the fuses and see if that may be the problem. if anyine has anymore ideas I will gladly except them.

you can also check and make sure there isnt any k&n oil on the MAF which happens when they are over oiled. im almost positive its the fuse though.

Not to hijack but I am new to the threads and put a Delphi 85mm MAF (along with the 3 to 5 wire adapter) on and it works great so far. This along with a FTRA and a Bo White ported TB installed all at the same time and no idiot lights yet...fingers crossed.

With that said, the stock MAF's (from what I have read) are well enough up to around 500hp so why mess with it. I guess it was that magical air bunny and cheap $50 MAFs on ebay that made me do it.

I have a SLP Z06 MAF and it's perfect.

To the OP, if the scan said it was your air temp sensor, thats what I would change.

still havent solved the problem, but i haven't checked the fuses yet. by the way i am not a newbie. i have been on this sight for a long time. i don't post a lot but i read the forums and do my research, its not a cheap ebay maf unless you think slp is a ebay company. by the way, and if i understand it correctly the more air you get in and out of your motor the more potential horse power you will have. i am not planning on stoping here its just a start.

years old....but witht he k&n FIPK i noticed a check engine light.

Had a code read and i guess the engine isn't used to getting that much air in it. from the intake i had the check engine light turn on for both my 99 z28 a4 and my 2001 ws6 m6.

light only when on when i went full throttle.

let me know if this helps and if you fixed the problem.
