My MAF sensor needs to be unpluged and reset

the ECU unit every month or so. Engine light comes on for a while and goes away when I unplug and plug back in which resets the ECU. Have to do this sometimes a few times until it resets correctly.

I have pulled the connection at the MAF

Let the engine change sound a bit and plug back in. Sometimes I have to do it a few times then it will be good for a while and then repeat. Running 24 psi and about 350 plus hp. I don't know if that is part of the problem or the fact that I am running with a larger exhaust leak I haven't fixed.

Yep, maf is maxed. Some people fool it by running a larger diameter pipe around the maf.

doesnt the MAF max out at 22.5 psi? because i am also LSJ turboed and if i go past 22.5 psi, my boost gauge resets to 0.. i dont know if thats because i have the LSJ boost gauge still or what lol but i remember somewhere saying that theres a limit of 22.5 psi.. and streetdreamz found a way around it.. he made a how to somewhere to change the MAF.

the stock MAP sensor maxes at 22.5psi. streetdreamz did a ghetto speed density tune, removing the maf from the system.

richard i was thinking about it more. you might have to put a piece of 3.5 inch pipe where the maf is. your starting to get where few lsj's have ever gone so there is no clear cut answer for this
