I can't find anything wrong. Problem start after I had cleaned the air filter. I text and call Adam's shop but no return call yet. I was hoping to take the car to him.

Just got back home from taking the car to Adam (ST Motorsports) and Adam made some adjustments to the tune. Drove all the way home (120 miles) and not one code.

Big thanks to Adam (ST Motorsports) :thumb:

Adam said my Parameters were out of adjustment. What they were he didn't say. He didn't have to change out my MAF or O2 sensors at all. Give him a call at (909) 388-2536 or email him at [email protected].

I'll text him and see if he could reply to this pos

Glad to hear he fixed you up! And I bet your bill yesterday with Adam was a lot less than mine. hahaha

See you this afternoon... we have some beer to drink! :beerdrink:

???? how would a dirty air filter cause the parameters to be far enough off to throw lean codes after it's been cleaned?

I did soak the air filter with oil after I cleaned it and the oil may have caused my MAF problems. I cleaned the MAF two different times and the same codes would pop up. I kept driving the car with my diablo hooked up and kept clearing the codes when the car felt like it wasn't running right. On may way to see Adam yesterday, I must have cleared the codes about 6 times. MAYBE doing this could have thrown my tune out of wack.
The only thing I can say for sure is that Adam fixed it by adjusting my tune.

I wish I could do what you did to your car, you car is bad azz.

We'll see you later today, if we drink too much we might have to spend the night :beerdrink:. Carmela gets off at 5:00pm, but she'll show up.

Im having the lean problems with my 05 also...I have the WMS intake, I cleaned the MAF, tightend all the intake clamps, and checked my injector psi (around 39). How can i check the intake for leaks? i remember a while back before this intake i hade a vacume leak, i dont really remember but i think it was the intake manifold. if it was the fuel filter (or anything with the fuel system)wouldent the injector psi be lower?
