08 lnf keeps stalling, hp tuned/bolted.

Car started running rough the other day and stalled out, tried replacing the maf sensor (when the maf was unplugged it would run) and disconnecting the battery, still happening, mods are aem intake, mpx catted dp/exhaust, zzp charge pipes, mpx ic, gms1, and hp tuned. No apparent vacuum leaks. Any input helps, thanks. Currently have no cel besides the maf codes from having it unplugged.

Did the weather change a lot since your tune? Also have you checked the maps for oil?

Map is connected to maf readings, and iirc the map readings and maf readings don't make sense to the ecu it throws a maf code

What MAF code is it giving P0101? If so you likely have a massive boost leak causing this issue.

It should throw the code if it won't stay running, just scan the codes after trying to start it

If it won't stay running with the maf connected it's probably likely a pretty good boost leak of some sort.

Looking around for leaks doesn't always get the job done unfortunately. Best way to find a leak is to smoke test the system or perform a boost leak test from turbo outlet to the coupler at the throttle body.

Do you have any way to check what you ltft's and stft's are sitting at? Either through your rpd (if you have one) or through some sort of scanner?

All maf codes. It's most definitely going to likely be a boost leak, something happened to one of the pins in the maf connector in the harness, or bad wire in the harness.

That is very possible. Is your maf relocated to the lower pipe I assume?

Not trying to insult your ability just asking the simple question, the maf is installed in the correct orientation for air flow?
