well the car started displaying the problems before the FMIC but while i was waiting for the MAF I put in the FMIC and then started the car with both the new MAF and the FMIC and the problem remained. The check engine light is not on, so i dont really know whats going on. I do have a strong suspicion that the MAF is not an N62 one. So youre saying that an NA MAF wouldnt display the signs of a broken MAF?
