    Try removing the MAF sensor & cleaning it with MAF cleaner.
    I've experienced the same problem in the past & found that excess filter oil was coating the "innards" of the MAF.
    Be gentle, as the sensors are very delicate.

    Also, the "honeycomb" thinger (an industry term) can be gently removed with a dental pic & tossed if you would like a bit more flow.

    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    P-0113... Intake air temp. circuit input high.

    Possibly due to unshielded air filter sucking in hot under hood air ?

    Just a guess, may be way off.

    if you buy one you need make it fit with your hands because they dont make them plug & play so im just making my own and it will be cheaper. Im making mine for a peace of heat shield that i got from my old spa. it was used to keep heat in so im going to make it work with my filter. I got peace size 1 foot so it should be fine and plus you can bend it how you want.

    I've done major surgery on my stock air box to keep my K&N cool...
    also, I've insulated everything with foil faced 1/4" styrofoam held in place with silicone caulking, & sleeved/insulated my intake pipe.
    The stock elbow into the fender cavity has also been removed & large chunks of the front & fender sides of the air box removed, so now it only draws air from the fender cavity & behind the headlight.
    I know this works because last time Kenny & I were on a road trip we compared IAT readings (he's stock) while rolling down the same stretch of road...it was ten degrees cooler.
    And Kymar, I like your style...make what you need with what you got.
    It may not always be pretty, but the job gets done.
