Default Car hesitates off idle to 1500rpms

Lately, after sitting at a light and accelerating off idle to 1500rpms the car has been hesitating to accelerate. Once past that point it is ok and WOT is fine. Now all of a sudden my car is throwing PO103 code for Maf. So I was wondering if a possible bad Maf would have anything to do with this problem? What else could this be? Thanks.

Do you have a cam? Mine did the same thing after my cam swap. Had to tune it out.

Yes, I do have a custom 236/236 cam, but it didn't do this the first couple months, now it does. What did you tune out? Is it a bad MAF?( the po103 keeps coming on?)

Yeah, after my cam install, a week later the slp maf went bad. It was shooting black smoke and cuttung power at cruising and accelerating speeds, which in an m6: unexpected engine braking can startle you. I was told it was a hiccup and the codes were cleared. Same thing a couple days later so i replaced the maf with another slp maf to avoid another tune and everything is fine.

******* slp, i'm going to call their customer service and see if they will replace it so i can at least sell it, if not it's trash.
definitely your maf

For $10 go buy a can of electrical cleaner from Radio shack first. Spray the crap out of the MAF wires ( with MAF off the car ) , empty half the can on them. Let air dry. Put the MAF back on and see if the problem persists.

Did it and haven't had the problem yet! Hopefully it's fixed!
