New To Tuning- Got a MAFia for my bday...HELP!
Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 1:59 am
I received a MAFia for my birthday, and quite frankly, I'm a bit unsure if/when to use it. I'm totally new to using electronics (my last car had a manual choke carburetor...) Gotta learn sometime, right?
I have a '97 F-150 5.4 Triton. The only big change made so far is I upgraded to 24lb injectors from 21lb, and put on a performance exhaust (headers, performance cats, etc). This, of course, is throwing a rich code.
I was told that the stock MAF can not compensate for the increased fuel because it's maxed out, and that putting a MAFia in the line will correct that.
So, my questions are:
Is correcting this as simple as the MAFia? Do I need to take it somewhere to be custom tuned before putting it on the MAF? or do I even need the MAFia at all?
Also, is there a custom connector, or do I have to manually splice it into the wires?
Thanks in advance! (and sorry if I sound stupid. Everyone's a n00b once, right?)
