got the code pulled today came out with p0102 MAP man absolute pressure MAF mass air flow and VAF vane air flow any chance any one has had a similar issue and changed any of these to fix it
thanks
 
Many of us have replaced a MAF sensor and MAP sensor. Cant say i've heard of the vane airflow sensor.
 


so i pulled the clip on the MAF and let it run didnt shoot in temp the fans still continue to turn on but didnt get as hot plugged it back in and it started ideling rougher and just didnt sound good so i would assume this is the issue and replacing is the next step
 
Yes if you unplugged the MAF and nothing happened then thats probably your issue. You'll want to get a new MAF.
