Cold Air Intake - 5/11/2008 12:21:35 PM    rmusgrove   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/11/2008 Status: offline I'm new here. I'm not an idiot but I'm beginning to feel like one. I am an FC freak and I'm currently "pimping & primping" my 88 FC Coupe (Non-Turbo). After being off the road for two years, I'm dinally knees deep in this baby. Recently I &^% up my air meter assy. (MAF) I would rather not spend the coin to replace it since I am planning on installing a custom cold/ram air system that I am in the process of fabing. When it's finfished and WORKING properly I will post pics. It's a really neat idea. Now my baby spits and sputters (only allows me to use one inch of throttle pedal before engine dies). I have locked the air chamber (MAF) open about 50%- no help. If I disconnect it entirely the car becomes a paperweight! My question: When installing a cold air intake; must you still maintain the MAF meter? If not; how is the meter bypassed? Thank all of you for offering your INVALUABLE input and lessons learned. It is GREATLY appreciated by a newcommer to the rotary world like me! RICH Post #: 1
