MAF Screen Missing

[gman2000]

I removed my air lid to do a little work and found the MAF screen missing. Do I need to replace it? Thanks for the help.

Re: MAF Screen Missing

you dont need to, previous owner probablr just removed it for a quick horse or two,

by the way...do you mean you removed your whole intake setup? cause its loated at the front of the throttle body.

Re: MAF Screen Missing

if you have the straight TB its helping you a little if you have an angled TB you NEED a MAF screen cuz it helps straighten our air flow or something

That's what I've been told. Seeing how is name is gman2000, I'm gonna assume he has a 2000 car. So, he should have the straight throttle body. Plus, he said he removed his lid, so right there means he has a 98+, unless it's a Z-28.....

i have a 98 with an angled tb...and IF it is a angled tb the only that happens is it will idle irregularly at a cold start....if you can put up with that, you are golden

Re: MAF Screen Missing

if you absolutley, positively need another screen.... snag one from a gp/monte/bonnie type car a your local pick & pull

Re: MAF Screen Missing

i took mine out cuz my stock intake sucked and the whole screen was filled with gunk. took it out and i didnt feel a HUGE difference by any means but i noticed it could breathe better

Re: MAF Screen Missing
