Have you screwed with your mass air flow sensor at all prior to cleaning it tonight? Like installed a lid recently? Any work around the maf?

None at all. I have done nothing but change the gear oil out on my t56.

If you are still running no rear O2's, you will immediately pop a new SES light for no reading from the rear o2's unless it is tuned out.

Ok, well, I have them, I was mistaken. I have two, what look like, sensor bungs on both my headers at the front, in the engine compartment. I'm guessing that's for the EGR?

Well, I fixed it last night. ENG SEN fuse was blown, go figure. Did not notice it last night when I was resetting the PCM.
