i too am having problems with eratic idle...sometimes it runs fine and sometimes it is all over the place....i dont really know what kind of maf sensor i have but i do know that when i bought the engine it has a c&l cold air tube so i figure its a c&l............like i said sometimes it stalls and sometimes it runs perfect but when it starts jumping up and down if you take the plug out of the maf sensor it levels out and runs fine........hmmmmmmm

I never thought I had a problem with my C&L either...

Then I hooked up a tweecer RT and started datalogging.
That meter sucks @$$!!!!!!

I could not dial in my KAMRF's to save my life. The signal from the C&L is chaotic at best.

The problem is with how they sample the intake charge (the crappy little sample tube), and the fact that the electronics are not cal'd to the housing.

They are junk, accept it as reality, or continue to live in dream land.
