96VR6NZ 2 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 We haven't had our 96 VR6 for long. Not long after purchase I installed a K&N pod air filter directly onto the MAF sensor 80mm diameter housing. No real gains in performance were noted however the induction sound was good. It was especially loud above 4000rpm. After maybe 200km of driving the engine started to misfire and chug, eventually stalling. My OBD scanner indicated that the MAF sensor was faulty. Unplugging the MAF sensor replicates the fault, still chugging etc I have ordered a new MAF sensor but I am concerned that the increased airflow through the pod filter may have wrecked the original sensor.Perhaps I need to revert back to the original air filter???

Ickyketseddie 89 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 No it'll be fine. MAF's do fail.People run FI through standard MAF's without issue. Maybe disturbing the original to fit the new filter actually caused the issue? Link to post Share on other sites
