Default Help: 2004 Z MAF issues

Stock everything I'm getting erratic readings on the MAF while logging. It will eventually throw the code p0102 and the wires are away from the TB motor and I've put a new sensor on. Any help???

Clean the MAF, check the connections, look for any leaks post-MAF.

It's a new sensor, and I used propane around everything looking for leaks. Connectors are tight. It has to be something simple that someone else has dealt with.... Thanks Sideswipe for the reply

Have you checked the A.I.R pump inlet hose to see if it's still connected to the air box ??
also if you have a cold air intake the most common issue is over oiling of the air filter--it will suck oil onto your MAF wires burn onto them and cause false readings and codes--clean the MAF with brake-clean

Stock filter element and air pump hose is connected, this seems like an electrical issue....

I was getting MAF codes on my DIC. Problem was the wiring bundle going to the MAF was worn through from contact with the serpentine belt. In the photo, I've opened up the sheathing to expose the bad wire.

I just discovered the same sepentine wear on mine. Hasn't quite worn through any of the wires in the sheath, but all wires in the sheath are damaged.
