    As long as your mass air flow sensor is plugged in and your air temp sensor that's located in your air box, that should be it. There is nothing much else that can get mucked up

    The air temp sender should just pull out it, damaging it would be hard. Check fault codes that will soon tell you

    Even if the MAF is ####ed the car should still idle an drive maybe a bit erratic, it should go into limp home mode, they did this so if the MAF failed you could still get your car to a safe place. May have nothing to do with adding the growler??? Just my 2cents.
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    Do not argue with an IDIOT.
    He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.
