P0101/0102 codes after K/N COLD air install

[Kpalmer]

So I just installed a K/N cold air intake and now I am getting codes P0101 and P0102. Could it be just a bad MAF sensor or possibly damaged from me handling it incorrectly? Would a new MAF sensor work?

For about $65 you'll have your answer.

I take it that the cost of a new MAF?

Is it a brand new filter or did you clean/re-oil an old one?  MAFs don't being contaminated with oil (which can happen when you overdo it on the recharge.)  I'd give it a quick clean before thinking about replacing it.

Brand new filter however I didn’t oil it yet. I’ll try some cleaner first

Good idea. 

I cleaned mine with a q-tip and denatuered alcohol.

Just hoping I didn’t pull on a wire to hard on the connection or something. Hope it’s just got a little dirty or worse I broke one of the fine wires inside the MAF

Bought some MAF sensor cleaner and gave it a pretty good spray however still showing the codes. Ugh!

FIXED! i installed the MAF sensor upside down.

 

gonna disconnected the battery for 30mins and hopefully it will delete the permanent code P0102
