It's not as bad as you think. If Sasha can find a way to get more cross sectional area for the MAFs then that should be the only fix needed. The rest should just be tuning and if you aren't in the tundra know as Canada you still can get it tune and enjoy it before winter sets in.

Just wasnt comfortable with my maf placement. Idled like **** but could be the base map tune. I modified my old 3" charge pipes from the bp kit and now they have a nice 6"s of straight pipe before them.

How do you plan to plug the old slots?

I put some bubble yum in them, then hit it with a heat gun.

Or...:-)

Bought hitachi style mafs, which is what we have, for $9 on ebay. Chopped them off at the pipe level.

Does it idle any better now?

Did you also upgrade your fuel pump when you swapped out injectors?

No but we changed out the fuel system last year to the CJM 1.5 system to get rid fuel starvation so I think I will be okay.

PPE headers showed up today and we moved the car to the shop that doing the piping. Hopefully they can start tomorrow. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...29f620b94d.jpg

Sick man! How long was the wait for those?

6 weeks.

They look grey in the pic for some reason but they are stainless steel with black ceramic coating.

It wasn't the maf placement. It still idles around 1200then shoots up to 2000for a second then drops down to 1200. it Will repeat this about5Times then idles back at1200 for aabout 20 seconds then will drop to 800 and sound like it's going to di. But will jump back to 1200 after5 seconds. Then will repeat the whole scenario. Checked for vac leaks but can't find any. Did the throttle body reset for thinking it could be the new manifold.

Is it just the tune? Any other thoughts?

My car had a crazy idle like that at one point but it was a broken T on a vacuum line.

Ive checked and double checked the vacuum lines. I am fearing it may be the intake manifold gasket. I hate how hard it is to put on/take off this manifold. I blew some propane using an unlit torch head around the manifold where it bolts up and didn't notice any idle changes. I also blew some flammable brake cleaner on it and still nothing.

It's just crazy though that the crazy idle is in a cycle. Like its programed to go through the steps of my previous post. Can a vacuum leak do this?


I am beginning to think it might be because I have the new manifold and never had the "stillen" cable with the tune for that manifold and the car just doesn't know how to handle this new mani......?

That shouldn't be a problem, I used ecutek. No stillen cable.

DIY smoke machine, look it up!

If there is no leaks, then its just the tune.


I was looking into what we should do with that pipe.

I wanna go with a 3.5" pipe out of the intercooler. instead of a 3"

Then have a 3.5"-4.75" aluminum reducer. have the 4.75" pipe about 8" long
Then have the MAF extenders in the 4.75" pipe, then have 2 pipes out of the 4.75" maf pipe into the TBS?
