You sure the MAF sensor isnt disconnected?

dbl check the maf and all connectors as well as the intake rubber connectors
I had no problems instant start up noo idle issues ect

I need to know a few things did you take out the bottom studs and replace them with bolts of sizes recomended in the origional TB thread. Also did you use both gaskets.

Did you installed the MAF sensor backwards...
It has happened to ppl in the pass. Try turning it around and see if that works.

Did you install the injen at the same time (miss a vacume line backwards maf ect.)

No need for the throttle extender plate

so what was the fix?

by **blakey2007** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:21 pm

i checked my gaskets and one of them had been bent so that when i bolted it in it would bend so that a leak would be made in the intake. so i like just redid the install and made sure that a seal was made.
