maf probs

I always remove the ground and turn the ignition on to clear my KAM. If anything is stored in the capacitors in the pcm that will remove it.

I don't know if the headlights would work. I have heard depressing the brake pedal before, so I guess that would be the same.

But I still don't get how you are supposed to discharge a capacitor with no ground for the current to flow. JMO.

I know what you mean Scott
So much of this stuff I don't understand

I can say I've noticed these things about trying to clean out all
the K's from previous use

With just a batt disco

Sometimes they are all gone with a 15 minute disco
and
Other times they are not

At 20 minutes or more ... I have always seen them gone

Another thing I have noticed

When they did not clear .....
I noticed my digital dash clock
did not reset to 12:00

Now ... about a ... Quick Reset

Yes ... From what I've seen said ... Its about discharging the Caps
and
I usually give it around 5 seconds to discharge

I have tried the following with success
and
In each method ... I saw the 12:00 reset as well

Headlights
Horn
Brakes

I really think anything that draws a good bit of current
would work ... but the above are what I've tried

I usually do one of the first two cause its easy to reach
through the open window

Another thing

I have not done the different family strategy thing on
a different switch position because the few times I had
some funky looking stuff going on or issues of my
current file not doing a clean upload ..........

I've been able to clear things up by loading my latest
file on the other 3 positions.

For me ... It just seems like a chance to invite trouble

if i grab a the sensor out of a gt will i be able to put that in my pro-m housing and have that work?

It seems to me that the Pro M housing would need to be exactly the same size as the OEM housing. Otherwise you will be moving more or less air than anticipated (per the MAS). And if your aftermarket MAF was the same size as stock, I'd wonder why you have it anyways.

As an e.g., if you have a P-M 77, the stock sensor being used in the P-M housing would lead to a lean condition.

The MAF and MAS really need to be a matched pair for best results.



Good luck.

You could do that with a C&L as they cal by tube.

ProM on the other hand does their cal electronically.

I don't see how that would work correctly.

See if you can find another OEM meter to test with.
