my current intake setup is a CTA intake with larger K&N filter with additional inverted conical filter element in the nose of the filter, and ported TB. my question is this, has anyone had problems, or is it possible for the stock MAF sensor voltage to be maxed out and cause problems.
trying to figure out a problem with my tour, ive posted in the troubleshooting section with little success. you can check there under subject "tour wont talk to me" for backround on the issue. any help would be greatly appreciated. symptoms have so far lead me to believe i need to drop a few hundred on a new computer.

You're not gonna max the voltage with just an intake. It's something else. Check for leaks, clean the MAF, replace the pcv valve, fuel filter, clean injectors, spark plugs, plug wires, coil,etc.

Not your problem,
but here's a suggestion,
dump the inverted cone filter,
not as good as a standard cone with plastic top.
As for your prob, Kremit is right.

It does sound like a fuel issue. You never mentioned if you've changed the fuel filter. I would go there first. Also check the fuel pressure. Or like was mentioned before, you may have a dying pump, clogged screen or a faulty regulator.

Why is the inverted filter not as good?

Air flow, filtering, and enough power could suck it to the point it breaks. Get a K&N.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in K&N products. Given that the
filters each have adequate CMF flow for the application there is no
benefit.
Thank you,

4b5spd you said you had an inverted cone filter from K&N. I didn't think they made them.

well i thought it was a k&n, maybe not. picked it up at fun ford weekend in englishtown nj from a vendor. cant remember which one, but it was one of the larger companies that sell a multitude of different products to include manufacture their own. it didnt come in a box it was plastic wrapped and looked new, it has been structurally sound so far. i think it even came with a sticker that i have adheared to the underside of my hood, but that one may have been from the stock panel filter k&n replacement i had a long time ago.
anyhow, sounds like i need a fuel pressure guage. probably the pump which was one of our suspects initially as fuel filter, pcv, plugs, coil, wires, maf cleaning and the whole gambit of the other reg maint. stuff has been taking care of.
thanks a ton for you quick response gents, helps a lot.

Hmm almost sounds like you're talking about APC, which is not a good company.
To my knowledge, K&N has no inverted cone filter. It does have the xstream, but it's not inverted, it just has a filter surface in place of the end cap.
