I’m stuck car starts and dies almost instantly. Shows reduced engine power. Ran fine when I put it away for the winter, this spring I put new intake gaskets in and it won’t run now. Entire top end is modified just stock bottom and has stock computer. Professionally dyno tuned after all mods done. Here’s the codes it’s throwing. Any input greatly appreciated.

I'd bet that you have a good size air leak. Your codes show intake air flow issues that are probably caused by improperly seated gaskets. Do a smoke test and I bet you will find your leak.

Ran fine when put away, throwing lots of codes now often means battery issue.

Battery is brand new and fully charged. Cleaned the grounds on passenger side fender too. How do I do a smoke test?

Can you read the MAF data PID and also the MAP....at key ON engine off MAP voltage should be high...at idle it should be low voltage...with the MAF if you can get it running what is MAF in grams/second...what sets the P1514 is the MAF airflow vs. what it should be reading from the MAP sensor...why don't you take it back to your tuner ??

The MAF has been removed and deleted it’s on a base MAP tune. I thought maybe the MAP sensor was bad so bought a new one and still doing the same. That’s the part I don’t understand is why it’s throwing MAF related codes. My tuner is almost 2 hours away and I don’t have a car trailer so if I can figure it out myself would be better

As far as the MAF goes you should check all 3 wires…a power, signal, and ground…and see what your MAF reads at idle and acceleration.

The MAF is removed you said so clearing that DTC from your scan tool won’t work…a tuner is needed to do this so that DTC doesn’t come back.
