Glad to hear you got it worked out, Ramsey.

Before your battery had died, the pcm had "adapted" to running and idling correctly with the dirty MAF and throttle body. Basically, as everything gradually got dirtied up over a long period of time, the pcm was able to gradually make the slight adjustments along the way to keep everything running smoothly.

Then, your battery died. All of those "adaptations" that the pcm was using are now gone. It has to start all over again. If everything was nice & clean & happy, then everything would have been normal, and you would not notice anything different. But you had skewed MAF readings and a dirty throttle body, and it would probably take several days to relearn, as you already explained.

thanks ,i would have never thought of it.makes sense now that you explained it in my face.the weirdest thing ,ha.maybe thats whats wrong with my truck ,whenever i come to a stop after really gettin on it ,it wants to die.noone can figure it out.

Dude I wonder if thats the problem with my truck. Mine only has a problem when the battery dies as well! Imma try it when I do my cam swap! If you just fixed my truck Ill actualy owe you guys one. Even though I am kinda stealing your thread. My friends always blaimed the tune... I always blaimed it on a bad ecu. But it would make sense if that was the real problem being how well it runs after it relearns the "adaptations" it takes to run.

That's probably whats wrong with mine, why it dies when I come to a stop, dirty MAF. Now if I could just find where the MAF is I'd clean it. I don't have one! Crappy amateur tuner is whats wrong with mine. I can put it in Neutral when I come to a stop and it does just fine.

Its the answer for everything greg. Come on. Go buy one put it on your truck and clean it. Youll be set.
Seriously I dont think mine has EVER been cleaned. Nore the TB

I've got one laying in my pile of spare/leftover parts. If I clean my MAF will my truck start idling better?

Why wait? Do it before your cam swap. Should cost you less than $10, only take you about 1/2 an hour.

I haft to swap my TB anyway when I do that cam swap. Imma put on a TBSS intake manifold when I do it. so ya know. Y not just do it all at one time. I usually make sure someone is around me that knows more then I do.... If you only knew how well I can screw something up that should of been simple you would understand.

Cool.
