Hello everyone,

I have been battling these codes for a few weeks now.

I have actually never felt a difference in the car, but today I actually felt it stumble and lose power at around 2000,3000 rpm and return back to normal.

At first (1 month) It would just throw the codes in pending ( still pending )
But now it actually starting to get worst.

I changed all the pigtails on the harness.

I am lost to what is the next approached.

Someone has suggested the ECU is failing and the primary (which is inside the computeR) is failing.

I would like to see if anyone else has been in this same position.

Your input would be much appreciated.

Make sure your crank sensor is clean

Does it ever set a code or pending only? Did you detect a miss or only concerned because of pending code?

Turns out, is only occuring on damp / humid days. Just as possible the CAI is ingesting a lil extra moisture n sending the MAF into a tailspin.

Wonder if it would do the same with stock air intake system in place.

One of my buddies are bringing me his stocker tonight will drive it around tomorrow all day and see if I can recreate the case issue.

possible reflash but sounds like a bad coil driver/pcm...would swap coils with another cyl first and recheck

Well drove it today, no code.

Weather seem to be a factor into this intermittent issue.

Going to switch back to a stock intake until my buddies car is back up and running then I would have to return it back to him.

If you need a stock intake I can check if its still on the shelf (I may have tossed it)
You can have it if I do as my cars never going back to stock lol

Just above or just below freezing with high humidity can equal perfect storm for a MAF fed by a stock air box, add in a CAI and the chances increase. We also know many of the '05 up are uber sensitive to just a CAI in perfect conditions.

Hope you get this all sorted out.
