now my mass air screen is gone . i drove it back home last night it did ruin my mass air and burn my lid and filter , but i am worried about my screen wher the hell did it go ? and what should i do

 

tell us about your setup and how it happened? Do you have a window switch...what was it set at? Did you bog? Pedal it? Was the setuyp ever tuned on a dyno with a wideband?

Are the three little wires on your MAF sensor still there. Do you have an SES light?
May want to get a new MAF if there is any question about the functionality of yours. If it works and doesnt set a code...dont worry about the screen. Although hopefully you will find it to make sure its not somewhere its not supposed to be. Closely inspect yuor intake to make sure there are no cracks..especially in the back where the MAP sensor is. You may want to remove the intake to do this.
If everything is ok....replace the parts that are unservicable and you should be back to normal.

 

ok , last week i changed my pressure gauge from a dynotune to an autometer on the pillar , and i had to cut a wire or wires under my dash . so after all that my nitrous wouldn't spray SOOO dumbass wanted to go racing and i bypassed my window switch to make it spray with my button.
well last night i wanted to show off a little in front of this yellow diablo in hickory, and i hit the button and the gas at the same time or so i thought and boom

i pulled over and my k&n was smoking and their was burn marks on my lid and it would not idle .
so i got home today and pulled it all off and my wires and my screen are gone from my mass air , i think my lid will be ok but i need a new filter and mass air
their were a FEW chunks of the screen in the filter but that was it i drove the car about 60 miles back home with no oil pressure issues just no mass air

 

SO THE MORRAL OF THE STORY IS DON'T SPRAY WITHOUT A WINDOW SWITCH!
i feel like such a retard

 

So I'm wondering, did the MAF screen melt or...
Sorry to hear about the mishap.

 

it did set codes 104 and 105 i beleive

 

I am real sorry this happened, however, feel lucky that it wasn't worse. Yea, this is why we all preach WS, as this can greatly reduce the chance of something happening. The screen must be somewhere, I don't think it would have been injested? Now I am not preaching at ya, as I have also run without a ws, and was lucky. These days my motto is, WS installed and working.

i think the codes were 102 and 103 which is the mass air but some how i managed to erase my codes checking them a minute ago with the scanmaster

 

I think everything will be ok with another mass air sensor (anybody got one lying around?) and a filter so now i will rewire my WS

 

If you didn't blow any holes in the lid or filter...and can't find the mass air screen, well there are only 2 places it could be. Burned up, or it got sucked in. Pull that manifold off and go searching.

 

after a closer examination of my filter i think most of it is stuck in it

 

I had a backfire the first time I sprayed. But I have never had another problem. I still do not have a window switch.

 

yeah but i have a WS and have never had a problem till i bypassed it

 

Yes pull that badboy off if its not a 01/02 great time to get a better manifold

 

it is an 01 and i think it will be fine their is allot of the screen in the folds of filter

 

sorry to hear what happened. but i have a maf if your interested. ill take 50 bucks for it

let me know

 

Next time keep that screen popped out...just in case.

I know you drove the car 60 miles after and think the manifold is probably fine, but I would still pull it off to be safe. I had a bad backfire and couldn't stop thinking about it until I tore my manifold off and checked every inch of it for cracks.

 

Dont beat yourself up. You just need to determine whats broke and replace it. I think you have learned any lessons about using "buttons". Just be sure your kit is fully operational with WS before using again. Alos be sure its activated with a WOT switch if you dont have one.

Good luck.

 

I would probably pull the intake and check everything out.
It's alot cheaper then a new motor.
