I've had it three times now. But it seems to go away after a little while. I'm not sure about what the code is exactly but according to auto zone the code is for my MAF sensor. I haven't had it in the summer yet so I don't know if it's just because of the cold.

Is it a oiled air fliter if so that may be why MAF is acting up on you. I had that same problem with the ZX3 Focus I had.

A TPS/MAF mismatch code generally means the MAF is flowing too much or too little air for any given TPS opening. Given that the intake replaces the MAF tubing, I suspect it is the incorrect size and would require a calibration.

If you have a P0171 code, that may be related to the oiled filter causing debris to stick to the MAF wires. Otherwise, I've never in my life seen a P0068 code from any air filter while the P0171 comes up pretty consistently.

Hey Andrew- what kind of air filter do you have?

I'm still debating on finding another brand of a air filter and see how well it does with my fswerks tube. Any recommendations?

Also, I'm looking into getting the ultra gauge. Does anyone know where to get them and the website that sells them for the cheapest?? So far I see it's like $69 off this website: UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool
