see thats the thing i did purchase a larger MAF sensor and i am hoping that will solve my problem. i never had a chance to install it because i deployed with the military before i got it. but thank you for constructive critism. that would be prety sweet if all it was was the MAF sensor. i heard about the Mustang one working like a champ, but i ordered one straight from Hyundai.

The fact that you can’t determine if it’s lean or rich means the problem isn’t solved.

Define lean? Is it just at WOT? Why not try and add some fuel at WOT to see if it’s a tune issue and not a supply issue?
It’s hard to diagnose without data.

my car shows lean at WOT but not so much at idle, but it stills runs really rough 24/7.and i know for a fact that the guys that were tuning added as much fuel as they could with the Neo and it didn’t make a lick of a difference. i am almost certain it is an ECU issue more then anything. i say that because all the guys i talk to with tibs have always did something different with there ECU, not just through a piggy-back on them.

I think any car that requires tuning also requires the owner to be able to 1) Tune the car 2) Understand the basics of tuning 3) Be able to datalog.
The idea of “I am going to get it tuned and never have to worry about it idea” is complete bullshit. Especially anything AFC related. On another note, doesn’t the megasquit replace the ECU? Inspection is going to be a problem.

Megasquirt can be tapped into the stock ecu and used as a tuning device or you can build a harness and run the car completely off of it

???
how do you know this? sounds like you don’t have a wideband and you don’t have a way to get a datalog.
