I have a CTA intake and I double checked that and it's fine. I'm wondering if it is my MAF sensor. Any suggestions will help. 95 GL Zetec FMS Blue Spark Plug Wires SVT Rims Custom Dual Exhaust 4 cylinders of fury Go Jayhawks!!

You can always have autozone scan it to see if it stored any codes. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
