MAF Question

[SMOKEDYA]

I hide all my wireing and so forth then when i reinstalled the MAF i had it turned to much so the car wouldnt hardly idol. So i turned it some more now on start up it shoots to 2000 and then idols kinda funny and at a light or stop sign it hangs at 1500 for about 2-3 sec then goes to about 1000. Does the MAF realy play that much in the way the car runs? Before i did tis it ws fine on strt up and when i stoped at lights or signs. It still seems to have good power and throttle responce. Why does turnning the MAF play this much in performance? peace

well if you turned it in the housing it prolly wont read the flow correctly

Clocking the MAF changes the airflow past the MAF sensor. Some CAI and air box combinations make turbulence and that turbulence can disrupt the airflow past the MAF sensor. That in turn changes the air/fuel ratio, which has a great deal of effect on how things run.
