I have not had any issues with my SLP MAF. Try swapping it back out and see if the helps. Could be a vaccum leak too. What do you use for tuning??

I tried putting my stock MAF back on and the surging got worse, it's not the MAF.

I think its a safe tune and your running on the rich side.

any one want me to send my HPT bin to them?

it only wants to buck a little when the rpms are under 1800-1900 and i am decelerating... it only wants to surge when its a cold start (pretty bad) and surges a little on hot starts (just dips once or twice) and when i come to a stop at 1100 rpms it starts surging.

any help would be awesome
