Im 99% sure its the maf, as its a low shortage maf code. typically thats when your maf is pooched.

I should probably check the wiring to make sure thats not fucked

I've had a couple small issues with my car but for the most part it's been good. Any real problems have been caused by modding my car haha.

Brake problems, sunroof rattle and Steering knocking were repeated probems. however all are fixed except for my sunroof issue. as it gets loos from the vibration of our god awefull roads and starts clicking GRR.

that and this driveability issue im haveing which im sure will be due to the Tmap sensor on my GMS1.

So basically all issues i have had were due to modding or the road disaster that is winnipeg.

This nice weather has got me thinking we should figure out a time when everyone is free and have a BBQ out at my place. Would anyone be down?

I'd be down. If any of you guys get a chance could you take a look at my "problem" thread. I'm kind of thinking I should just get a tune. Does Jordan still do that?

Sounds like you need to get tuned for the CAI. Seems to be hit or miss with people if the maf gets affected. The maf has no idea whats going on with all the airflow. That would be my guess since it started happening after installing your CAI. Oh ya Jordan with tune you up. He loves tuning LSJ's.

I wouldn't say it's inferior in everyway.
The suspension/clutch is a step up for sure.
They worked out a few kinks from the first ss cars (however the 07lsj is pretty much the same minus the seats and motor/clutch)
The bigest plus on an Lnf is being able to make 300whp on just a tune and a down pipe.

Ask Dustin how much he has into mods to be there. However he is probably into the car for about 10k less than any original owner lnfs.

If you are aiming for more than 360 or so whp your looking at the same kind of money for both platforms IE turbo upgrade kit.

Drive both Would be the best way to compare.
I've driven every model of cobalt and currently own my personal favorite.

soooo in a longer drawn out way, the LNF is inferior lol

i will say, the electronics in the LNF are far more ..finicky? then the LSJ

Truth. The 07lsj has pretty much the same electronics as the Lnf.
