Well gents I got it fixed. Took out the two pcm plugs, maf plug and ignition coils. Cleaned then with contact cleaner and put them back. Connected the battery and boom. Boost is back.

 

Awesome , keep it clean and drive it often.

 

Spoke too soon. Code came back. Fml

 

Then we know it is a frayed wire/ bad crimp.

 

Frayed wire?

maf sensor plug?

 

I re-read your post, I did see the new air filter. A "fake" CAI? You actually have a HAI( hot air intake).

I don't see that it has a stage 1 tune. He said he ordered TMAP sensors and a tune, they're on the way. So there are no soldered or crimped connectors(yet). I'm hoping that the plug and play adapters were ordered.

 

I ordered the ZZPerformance map sensors and tube. The mass airflow sensor is the issue I'm having. I'm gonna check fuses and see if the plug is not bad

yes it's a hot air intake. Lol

 

The crimps I meant are the stock pins in the connectors. Sometimes the wire gets frayed or corroded, making for intermittent problems. The fact that diddling with the wires temporarily fixed it leads me to believe one of the pins is loose or broken.

 

Gotcha. I may just get this **** coded out. It's exhausting

 

Or that the battery lobotomy, while he did the work, cleared the code and bought some time with good boost.
