[Dominick32]

I ttt'd this to the top because I had a few requests from SVTP members this week about MAF Cleaning.

Wow sounds like its a good thing to do every so often. Over two years with my car so time to do so minor cleaning.

I have a surge at idle and VERY low RPMs, like 600-1200 RPMs... same problem???

I am going to try it, just wondering if anyone solved MY probelm with this easy fix???

Is it under part throttle cruising conditions at low RPM? Or just an idle surge? Where is it more apparent?

It is much more apparent at idle.

I tried changing the plugs to NGK TR6s. And its only sometimes. I has nothing to do with being cold or warm.

The only thing that is consistent is it is WORSE when i turn all of the AC and Vents stuff to OFF. When i turn the defroster or AC on, it pretty much goes away!!!

Any ideas?

Try cleaning it. It takes ten mins, its very easy, only costs a few bucks for the correct spray, I say give it a shot. It has, so far, fixed about 95% of the cars that have tried it.

I'll be trying this tonight. Mine was fine stock, but now that I've had the S&B filter on for a while, it's bucking at low RPMs, and the idle isn't very smooth.

Bumpety Bump. :thumbsup:

stngstr...how did it work out?

 

[fjules]

I have the stumble tried the MAF clean twice with no luck. I think I did track down the problem:
Custom tune = Stumble
Predator stock pulley tune = Stumble
Factory tune = No Stumble!!!
I am running a 2.8, ported blower, CAI and catback. I think I need to find a GOOD tuner.
