SD mode and car runs fine Im curious, Ive been skimming the pages here, and it seems that our cars are supposed to run like 'crap' in SD mode (you enable it when you unplug the MAF right?)
Well just messing around I was curious if my MAF is messed up (because my car runs lean in the heat) so I unplugged my MAF and took a drive. I see no difference at all, shouldnt it run different?

I just took the plug out of the MAF is that "completely" unplugged then?
I even romped on it once and it seemed perfectly fine. Maybe my MAF is damaged? The previous owner descreened it (he also ran 87 octane...) and I was thinking maybe he damaged it. Or would it be possible that he got some kind of tune that crapped up the MAF?
EDIT: Also should I be getting any lights turning on? Because there was nothing.
