MAF screen revisited
Since I changed to a rice pipe recently, I decided to take the MAF screen back out to see how the new intake would handle it. Well, idle quality is **** poor.
BUT... The car seems to pull harder than it has recently at the top end. It could be the temps being 15 degrees cooler than before I took it out (Friday afternoon), I don't know. MAF readings are no higher than normal.

Would you think idle is related to the length of the pipe and size of the filter? My idle is and has always been fine with the rice pipe installed, but then again I cut a good inch or two off the end of it before I put it on, and my filter is smaller then most.

On my 91, without the screen, the idle is **** poor... I had to reinstall the screen for a proper idle... Keep in mind I am not SC'd
I'm not sure what year it starts, I think 94, so 94 and later should idle fine without the screen... And in most cases while idling you could unplug the MAF and there shouldn't be much diffrence... I think my 91 stalls out when the MAF is unplugged... lol
