Took my Intake off cleaned it PROBLEMS! I removed my intake today to clean it and get all of the carbon out of it, it was very bad. I have a 2000 Z28 with stock LS1. After reassembling everything now I have a Check Engine Light Code for the Mass Airflow Sensor. My ASR (traction control) does not work, nor do my foglights. My Oil Pressure gauge needle is pinned against the steering column. I had none of these problems before I took the intake off, I checked every fuse in all 3 fuse boxes and all fuses are good, any suggestions?
May have broken or unplugged the oil pressure sensor.
Mass air meters can be sensitive. I've ruins them by cleaning and oiling the air filter.
Fog lights and traction control, I couldn't tell you. Possibly pinched wires, or something got wet.

Okay, I cleaned the MAF by just blowing it out with the air hose (60psi) not sure if that would cause it to break, is there anyway to get to the oil sending unit without taking the intake off?
Yes, but you're going to cut your hands up and invent new curse words you never would have thought of. It might be more time effective to pull the intake depending on what you're doing, plus you could check for pinched wires, etc while its off.

Broken oil pressure sending unit there very fragile. I broke mine installing my fast intake, I don't see how your going to remove it without taking the intake back off. Also your gonna need the oil pressure unit socket from your local part store. Good chance to install an after market oil pressure gauge!
