Default Just completed MAF conversion!! WHOO HOO!!

Ok guys, I just got done my SD to MAF swap! Only took 2 1/2 hours, so im pretty happy about that as well!

I started the car, and I had to start it a few times because it went down in RPMs too much. After revving it for about a minute she seems to idle perfectly now.

Anyone who's done a MAF conversion, is that usually what happens when you first start the car after converting? Thanks!

You might want to perform a base idle reset.

she seems to be idling perfect now, how would i perform a base idle reset.

also, in the process of the maf conversion i broke a vacuum line. the vacuum line is above the grommet for the maf harness on the passenger side under the hood. i plugged it for now, should that be ok like that for a bit?

your new ECM is learning, give it some drive time, it should get better yet.
