What year and is it an NA?

When you replaced the filter did you unplug the AFM sensor for any reason?

Did you remember to plug it back in???


Its also distinctly possible that you broke a wire to the AFM. (ther is no maf on this car, its an AFM. there is a difference, and it is significant )

My bad....no need to take it so personal, just a typo. All fixed just for you.

Make sure the AFM is plugged in.

Nothing personal. It just can confuse the issue when people try searching about MAF conversions, or are having problems with their AFM and keep callling it a maf. They are just two completely different animals.

What was the issue for future refrence.

btw there is a guy on TeamFC3s.org getting a MAF to work with our ECU inplace of the AFM. Should be interesting.
