so i came to the conclusion today that i will be swapping out my MAF again... my gut is telling me that its my intake causing the issue... can anyone give me any ideas on how i can protect the sensor alot better... all i can really say is HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

i forgot to put this in but i feel that water is getting in there since the car is acting stupid when it rains

 

What's happening to the car?

Can't help if all we know is, "I might have to change my MAF sensor and I think it's my intake"

That's better.

What kind of intake do you have?

Swap to a new intake and get a hydro shield....

 

What filter? I had a similar problem only when it rained. The car would buck hard in 2nd/3rd under load but would drive perfect without excessive load.

I found my AEM dry flow was SOAKED thus choking the motor.

 

AEM is the biggest piece of ****. It's a cotton filter which does nothing but act as a sponge in the rain.

Also, if he has the AEM intake it's only about 8 inches of piping and the MAF is located farther down closer to the filter than other intakes. More prone to getting water on em.

 

Yes I know, but it does it's job when it's dry. I'll probably buy another and hydroshield it.

 

Go out and buy the K&N typhoon intake. Yes it's expensive but worth every penny. It's an oiled filter which repels water. Also, the location of the MAF sensor is good too. Up after the 45* bend. Also comes with a hydroshield.

 

RDFab's 3" here..I'll look into a K&N filter though

 

i think it is an AEM bc everything you just said is true (on the car when i bought it) and mine does the same thing when it rains, bucks like a ******* bull when you get on it but if you ease into it everything is fine

just went on K&Ns website and it doesnt say anything about a hydroshield and the pic shows the MAF in the same place it is now... where did you go to order it???

 

no he said get rid of your current intake and get a k&n intake. the hydro shield I know injen makes one and you need to know the size of your filter, aem may make one as well.
