Well my car has not pulled like it should ever since I bought the car. I finally bought a logger and performed a log. The one thing that really stood out to me was that the flow rate read 0. What would be the cause of this? The only code my car throws is p1500 (speed sensor or something like that) Would a flow rate reading of 0 cause me car to run like shit? Thanks for any help.
 
Definately. If the ECU senses a malfunction from the MAS you get thrown into limp mode. Limp mode is basically a way for the ECU to keep the car running until you can get it home or to a shop.

Is that the only code you are getting? Have you verified that your MAS is plugged in?
 
Are you running OBD gauge? Ine shows 0 if you have us as the selected units. If you change to u.k. or metric it will show up but will be in g/sec. Try that and see if it helps. If it was truely 0 then the car would not hardly run at all. (go into menu, preferences, select u.k. for the units and see waht happens.

I ran into this problem with obd gauge and it freaked me out OMG . After asking around I finally switched to metric like luvmygst said and saw some air flow. :thumb:
