Maf sensor

I think i fgured out why my engine light is staying on, i was looking at my relay bank lastnight and noticed, that my maf relay has no wires going to it!!! and that i couldnt find a plug. it looks to me like they by-passed it and hooked wires into the harness im gonna test maf tonight to see if its getting power, why does the car still run and drive so go without the maf?

Mop Up The Maf Mess

When the ECM gets no MAF input it merely uses a medium setting, AKA “default”.

When you see fog or “running” lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Code Buster

Due to the fact they bypassed it probably has something to do with it.

They might have put a load across the terminals at the ECM to keep unnecessary codes out.
