    I had a short ram intake, i replaced it this weekend with my stock intake. Since i did that it has a hesitaion, it idles fine though, and it has thrown a CEL either, any ideas? could it be the MAF sensor?

    Yes I did, I just checked the maf sensor and the actual sensor looked dirty s i cleaned it off i hope that was the cause.

    Any other suggestions?

    When you cleaned up the maf, you still experienced this?

    i thought i only had that problem but it seems every1 has it, btw this problem only happens when it's raining with me, i got short ram but will change to a cai soon, maybe it's the air comming inside the shortram and i think not alot of air is going in thats why..
