Default MAF sensor??

If I am correct??? big if the MAF sensor is located at the back of the intake (FAST)...mine makes a slight whistling noise every now and then and I heard that there is a MAF sensor relocation kit ?....

Does the intake have to be removed to repair the leak?

Does anyone have any ideal what a fare price is for this repair/reloaction???



Thanks

You have the MAF and MAP sensors mixed up. The MAP is located on the rear of the manifold.

That being said...many people with the FAST have a whistling sound. It seems to be caused by a cast area just inside the throttle body. The was a post a while ago about it.

Here's what Tony Mamo says about it.

Good luck,

Thanks Kevin and the whistle is at the back of the intake ( a FAST 90 on a LS2) The tuner isolated the whistle with a stephascope and then could manipulte with his finger....I thought he called it a maf sensor , he's from chicago & I am from ky and we both have been in fl for several years so our dialects are a bit skewed anyway the map sensor needs to be repaired/relocated.....any ideal on how difficult? cost?
Thanks again Kevin for getting me on the right end of the intake

Don't some LS6 intake manifolds also produce this whistling sound? I'm sure I remember a TSB post or something about it...I wonder if it's the same thing?

You can seal it with some RTV but be very carefull not to get any in the hole in the sensor.
