Default Just installed modified Mance MAF and new MAF sensor

Made a significant difference as the MAF was bottle-necking the intake; however, the engine immediately started 'hiccupping' at cruising throttle on the road. Nothing unusual while accelerating but once I let up on the throttle it has constant and consistent little hiccups. Put the old MAF and sensor back on, no more hiccups. (Old sensor doesn't fit on modified MAF as they are different, apparently me old sensor is different than most). The 'new' sensor is a used one I found locally. Any ideas ?

Default mine does the same... can be pretty bad, but I also have the adjustable pot

so to some degree I can moderate the burble. but I can't get rid of it all together and if reduced a lot the engine suffers in performance. so as far as I can gather it's just one of those nuissance things yer gonna haveta live with. But also try different O-rings. they have a significant impact

Default You guys make aure your engines aren't leaning out too much when that happens...

as it could damage your motor internals.

Re: Sensor wires clean? -- MAF sensor came from a non-modified engine
