Whatever it is, doesn't matter. It's not likely that any of us can measure gp/s. The thing is, if they didn't say what codes they were chasing, who can tell if they have any idea what they're doing?

Added to the BS upselling, I would tend to be irritated by this dealer also.

DB, maybe if you called them, they would have a record of what codes were present.

Not to get picky, but I'm not blowing smoke..



This is from HPTuners, shows lbs per hour but I can change it to any unit of measurement I like.

The air we breathe has weight. At sea level a 1 foot square of air weights ~ 14.5 or 1 bar. The air an engine ingests has weight as well. Why do you think they call it a mass air sensor? It's not a CFM sensor.

Yes it does.
Back in my firefighting days, I noticed that full SCBA tanks weighed more than empty ones.
Crudely weighed them one day. The full ones with 45 cubic feet of air at 2200 psi would weigh 2-3 pounds more than the empties.
Who knew that regular compressed air could weigh that much.

K, I'm schooled, but a gram is a measure for weight and air is measured in CFM, right?

I'm seeing air is 14.7 lbs per square inch at sea level , also gravity's weight

No, technically, gram is a unit of mass(how much matter). Weight is measured as newtowns, weight refers to the force exerted on an object by gravity. (from Wiki)

A 100 gram object will 'weigh' differently with a different gravity applied.(but it's still 100 grams)

Is anybody's mind blown yet?

Alrighty, I'll buy my tea in grams at a higher altitude so the atmospheric pressure is less.
That's why I had to rejet the carbs at Mile High in Denver.

What is gram (g or gm)? - Definition from WhatIs.com

But you won't get a discount on your tea, if it's the same amount of grams. ....something about the price of tea in china....

Copy That Now that we've taken this way out there. Main thing, It was broke, now it's fixed and the MAF sensor appeared to be the problem.
