Is it giving you any codes? When I had a nitrous back fire, my car would not start either with it plugged in. Unplugged the maf and the car starts and runs fine.

All I did was disconnect the battery for serveral minutes and hooked it back up with the MAF plugged in and the car fired right up and runs fine.

I just pulled the $300 Grantelli one and installed the Ac Delco and it ran better than ever. I paid $90 on Ebay.

I bought a brand new Delco MAF from the same guy on ebay. He must need to get rid of them. He sold me one for $70+8 shipping.

Every time I post an ebay link the forum editer makes it disappear. However, you can do a search on ebay for the delco part number 213-353. Just use the Make offer feature and offer him $70.

I'm going to do some testing with and without the screen and try to put this descreening/miscalibration myth to bed.

Don't use a B-Body meter. They only have a 3" inner diameter.

The unit is designed to get the reading with the screen on and unless you think you get some noticable flow improvement i would just leave it alone. Im boosted so it makes no difference but might keep something out of the engine i don't want there.
