You didn't put the MAF in backwards did you? I know it's something dumb but it could happen..

The arrow on the sensor points up (towards the direction of airflow).

Also the screw holes are offset to keep you from putting it in backwards.

Have you Re-tuned the car after the intake? I know i had my car tuned before i got my intake and after I put the intake on my car ran a little funny.

Yes they are, but people still seem to be able to install it backwards. This used to be one of the most common issues when people installed intakes on these cars.

im looking at the intake now

and it says this below

This is a true full length 3" aluminum intake tube, not just a shorty pipe or a 2.5" tube that is expanded in enough spots to claim that it is 3 inches in diameter. ZZP spends the extra time to make a great looking, lighter than stock, and over performing product. Power gains are typically between 8-12 whp and it is noticeably louder than the stock OEM piece. When changing the size and shape of the tube that the MAF is in, it is recommended that the PCM file be tweaked to compensate. Not required, but it could set a P0171 code.

if you replaced the ignition parts, and the injectors, and the intake isnt leaking anywhere, that would throw a lean code though, then sorry to say your missfire is mechanical buddy

Im going back to the stage 2 tune. IF I can't figure it out,its going to the stealership and see if they will cover it up warranty.

I took the car to the stealership and they told me its the injectors. I dont understand because I swapped them out already. Anyone has a issue with crank or cam sensor causing a P0300 and PO172? I have done so much that those are the only things I haven't touched.
