Broke Down Twice

First

Installed Anderson Power Pipe went for a drive car shut off while paying a toll on the bridge. Popped the hood Vacuum hose going to the Plenum blew off put it back and drove home fine.


Second

Went into a self car wash bay, cleaned the car, cleaned the engine perfect went to leave and the car wouldn't start couldn't keep it started it just wouldn't run i got it going enough to get it home 2 min drive. When i went into underground parking it idled fine. I shut it down started it again same thing rough rough idle. This time the car threw a code: P0102 Mass air Circuit low input. I am guessing i got some water in the Diablo MAFIA. I think i am just going to buy a new MAF and drop the MAFIA & Stock MAF.

You might also have a leak after the MAF somewhere.....check all hoses and gaskets!
Un-metered air will be your worst enemy!!!! chances are its not your MAF..

Hope this helps.

I can hear a leak. Just didn't find it yet i am assuming it's the rubber connecting the MAF to the Piping.

Probly is.....take a unlit propane leak to your intake, car should rev on its own.

The leak would have to be after the MAF.

Yea the garage i had it to told me they removed the Maf and piping after it to cut the fender well to add the powerpipe. I am sure thats why its leaking. I mean the car feels like it almost stock again.

There are much better clamps you can purchase to properly hold the power pipe. Using a high pressure car wash is not a good idea around your electronics, especially an aftermarket Diablo Mafia....once water get in you'll start throwing codes. Many people upgrade their MAF with the 90mm Ford Lightning MAF. You most likely got the MAF wire wet (as you know) or the wire sensor within the MAF. Dry everything with some compressed air. Now take off some of your COPs and check if any water is sitting on your spark plugs as you might experience spark arc when driving. Lets just say.....been there, done that.
