ECU codes? And how did you check the MAFS?

maybe silly, but you did not include checking ALL of your intercooler piping on your list..

Not a silly item to check at all. It's definitely something I've seen people get caught on more than once.

i double check the mafs and piping and see thanks i have the k&N air filter on my car are those pretty good. i search and saw that the k&N filter wasn't that good because i don't let the maf clean it shelf or some thing like that. thanks again.

the problem with k&n's is when they are over oiled. it can suck through the filter, get on the MAF and cause the MAF to fail.

if its not over oiled they are fine with MAF cars.
