if i remember correctly the AFM fits into the intake right before the metal tube and right after the cone.

I wonder what would happen if you run without MAF. When I was working on my tune up and throttle body, I did run the car without the MAF on, the check engine light was on but the car ran fine. Of course I didnt run it past 2k rpm. I guess it would run too rich, I don't know of any other problems.

running the car w/o the MAF would most certainly cause some damage. the MAF and O2 sensor work in conjunction with the ECU to determine important factors such as timing and A/F ratios.

the reason why it wont rev >2k is because the ECU is programmed to put the motor into a "safe" or "limp home" mode if the MAF signal is cut.

Well, I didn't say it wouldn't rev past 2k, I just was easy on it, and didn't rev it past 2k.

bumpup for more information.

Mine is missing parts all over the place and loose. I figure i might just get a CAI not to be cool but because its WAY CHEAPER than the oem parts

The JBrady "BFI" intake mod is pretty sweet, and as shown, much superior to any "flashy" aftermarket intake set-up.

hey ill sell you my ingen intake for 20$ and your stock intake. its a chrome pipe from the throttle body to the afm. it has bungs for the 2 vac lines and a filter for the intake side of the afm. its really nice and very clean inside and out. i think its the reason im throwing a cel though and the little light pisses me off more than the (*$0)% hp you gain.

if anyone is interested just pm me and ill try to get pics of it on my car.
