    :shrug: I'm no expert, i would of thought that if there was anything wrong with the maf, that there would be other side affects other than bag mpg. what about DV? i've noticed that the engine bogs down for the slightest moment after gear changes, apparently this is caused by the DV? pffft i'm...
