August 16, 200718 yr How exactly do I bypass the MAF in my car to add a different intake so It doesnt stall right when its started.
August 16, 200718 yr If it's a SPFI, unplug it. The engine will run like poo, but the PCM's limp mode works well enough to keep it running. If it's plugged in, it won't go into limp mode and it won't run.
August 16, 200718 yr Author It is SPFI. Can't I just trick it to so it thinks things are all good? Or somehow put the sensor in a different tube? Reason is I want the filter right ontop of my intake. The rubber boot is so soft that it closes when i hit the gas.
August 16, 200718 yr Ive searched and all I get are jumbled ramblings by Bgd73. Yeah, its quite the nuisance.
August 16, 200718 yr You cannot bypass the maf sensor, your car will not run. You could get a boot to go between the tb and maf, and then a nissan maf adapter and non oiled cone filter and install it from there.
August 16, 200718 yr replace the piping between the tb and MAF with something solid....like PVC (yea, laugh all you want, but it'll work). but if the ECU doesn't know how much air is going in (via the MAF), it won't know how much fuel to use.....which will cause many problems.
August 16, 200718 yr Author Cool. The nissan MAF adapter, is it the large piece of alluminum? I just dont like the Suby MAF because if funnels the air down to a hole the size of a Twoonie. Maybe the nissam MAF would be bigger, who knows.

August 16, 200718 yr By chance has the *Subaru FI* plate been taken off off you're intake boot? If so that's you're problem. That emblem helps stiffen the tube. Just get a replacement intake tube that is intact. Or press and glue back in the old emblem if you still have it.
August 16, 200718 yr I'm not meaning to use a nissan maf. What I'm talking about is an adapter that bolts to the stock maf, and allows use of conical type filters.
