I think I fixed the problem, driving back home it felt usual as it was before the lights were off, unless my dad used the scanner to take it off. Need to ask him tomorrow but it went back to normal as of driving. I'll give some feedback tomorrow. Do you have an aftermarket intake?

- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor
- Ignition misfiring
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Incorrect fuel pressure*
- Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor

yes i have an AEM intake so im almost sure that it has something to do with MAF sensor. But how can you fix this ? I dont want to get a new sensor and still have this problem

Get some sensor spray and clean (spray) that sensor. If that doesn't work you gotta find the problem. That's a cheap sensor, maf, compared to the o2sensors, which are far more expensive.

I had the same code and cleaned my MAF sensor and it cleared it up. I would try that first.

For most people they would take out the maf sensor and get the spray cleaning for the sensor at autozone and then clean it leave it to dry for about 20 mins and it should do the trick. If not I think it has to be another problem. I replaced my intake to stock and it did the trick. Going to clean and I'll keep you updated
