Default Summitt Mass Air Problems

I've got a 75mm summitt mass air for 19lb injectors and a cold air kit. Bought it used a couple of months ago and it ran fine. It crapped out on me in the middle of the highway last week. Motor stalled out every time i'd get out of the gas and when it would run it wouldn't idle and would stall. Showed no codes at all in the Koeo test but once I got it to run long enough to run a Koer test it showed a mass air failure. So, long story short I put the factory mass air on and all is well, it hesitates a little from a stop but i can live with that for now. My question is if anyone knows a way to test this thing or fix it. I've got 200 dollars buried in it between buying it used and buying the wiring pigtail at cj's so I'd really rather not have to chuck it. the only mods I've done to this car so far are the CAI, standard tuneup (still have the timing at 10 degrees),Msd blaster coil and an Accel Ignition Module other then this offending Mass Air.....LOL. thanks in advance guys!

Summit stuff = ****. If it works, set your stop watch.

Do it right and get quality parts.

I've had good luck with their stuff. It's not like they make it. Have you tried cleaning the sensor?

Yeah, they just put their name on somebody else's product and knock a few dollars off of the price. I have one of their off-road H-pipes and a set of their drag-lite look alike wheels. No problems with either.
