I recently did a pi swap into a 96 gt that i bought with no engine. The car has a stock mass air meter and when i took it for a drive the car feels like it doesnt go anywhere when i hit the gas in the high rpms....can a tune help this or do i have to just get a new meter and calibrate it? oh yea i have a sct chip sitting around and i was wondering if there was anywhere i can send it in to just get it burned and for how much? thanx!

it should be driveable and pull hard without a tune, I would test your fuel presure and after that look at the maf.

well i bought a used maf and it says 98 on it and the car is a 96 and i dont think that should matter but maybe its just not good....maybe i should just buy a c&l meter or something?

there are different calibrations for mafs.. I would go to a ford dealer and have them cross referance that part number..

is this 98 maf the one on the car when it ran badly?
