Code 33...why does it keep coming up?
okay so...this is gonna be my 3rd MAF in like a year or so..
whats causing them to go bad so damn fast??? Its really annoying and quite frustrating, not to mention costly..
i was told it may be due to my K&N Filter?

Re: Code 33...why does it keep coming up?
the code 33 can be caused by several issues, emi from plug wires, bad ground or maf or burn off relay connections. This code can also be set with a cam swap or aftermarket throttle body when the ecm sees a indicated airflow of greater than 45 grams per sec the code 33 will turn on the mil and go into lhm.

Re: Code 33...why does it keep coming up?
I would check the wiring to the maf. My car for years set 33 and it drove me NUTS. I thought I had fixed it one day when I bought the computer chip maf. I got to the bottom of the driveway and it set the code and ran like crap. I popped the hood with the engine running and just SLIGHTLY touched the maf wire and the car shut off. I thought that was weird so i started it and touched the wire and it shut the car off again. The pigtail looked awesome (no burns, frayed wires etc) but there must have been a break in the wires, I spliced one in and have not had a code 33 in about 2 years. Hope that helps
