Car Won't Run With MAF Plugged In

So, today I decided take a look at the MAF as i'd got nothing to loose.

 

Disconnected everything, gave the MAF a damn good spray soaking with some MAF cleaner and left it in the house for a while whilst I secured the CAI nice and tight to the inner wing.

 

Refitted the MAF, plugged it in, cleared the codes and fired her up.......... Hey presto, one seriously smooth running car again with tons of power.

 

Im not saying its fixed it for good, but its certainly done the trick for now although I think im gonna put the standard airbox back on this weekend for the winter and monitor it and see how it goes.

 

Thanks for the helpful tips guys.

No worries, glad things are looking up. As an alternative suggestion I've been pretty pleased with my airbox mod. Definned, pipercross panel, 3" pipe, holes in corner grill, loving the cold weather hehe. All it cost was the pipe and some Tiger Seal, 80 mm pipe was a bit of a squeeze but it did the job!
