I need to know if the stupid MAF that comes stock is self calibrating. It seems to moose alot now and hesitate when banging gears between shifts. Will either a new bigger MAF fix this hestation problem,or the copper pipe cap in the hose work better? I'm new to the website but not new to cars, this one is stumping me.

Either way, drop in or open element, did you reset the PCM? That could be your problem. Was it a brand new filter, not used and re-oiled? It could have been over-oiled. Many possibilities.... 99 SVTC, T-Red, #652/2760-12.8.1998 Mother#@%@!* did I sound abstract? I hope it sounded more confusin than that!
