Have you run your codes? DO you have cruise control? IF so, does it still work?

I'm not getting any major codes. just the ones that come with me not having smog equipment. My cruise control is working fine. The problem didn't come until I did my engine work and upgraded to 24lb injectors and swapped out the sample tube in my c&l. I'm thinking that the mass air is the problem. I'm under the belief that a sample tube isn't as good as buying a MAF that is calibrated for the injectors. I'm thinking about buying a pro-m. A guy at a local shop that builds mustangs said its probably the mass air. Oh yeah, the car runs rich as crap at idle, but lean at WOT. so i'm guessing the MAF...
