Check Engine light on. Used Tech2 to pull these DTCs. P1101 P0101. I cleaned the MAF with CRC MAF spray. Cleared codes. Drove 10 miles with no code. Shut off vehicle....Restarted and the check engine light came back on. This is the factory intake...new air filters. I used the Tech2 to look at the MAF signal and it would change from 3 to 6 when i doubled the RPMs....so it would seem the MAF is working. I also used my Torque app on my phone to view sensors. I've attached pictures of sensor readouts. Anyone have a fix for these codes?

Check the intake connections. On my car there's a deformation in one of them that was caused when a someone installed it wrong. The deformation caused an opening in the connection where air entered the intake behind the MAF sensor. This results in more air entering the engine than measured by the MAF sensor. You may be experiencing the same problem.

How did you fix that issue? Would i need to buy a new intake piece?
 
I think he talking about the rubber boots around the mass air flow going to the trottle body. Just make sure they are sliped on correctly and the rubber is not folded or bunched up.

I started by shopping for a replacement rubber "collar" but all I could find were used. I attempted to get images of the section of the collar where mine was deformed to insure what I bought didn't have the same problem. Unfortunately I couldn't get any of the salvage yards to send me images of the part of the intake I wanted to check so I never bought one.

Instead I used silcone caulk to fill the hole. I used a piece of saran wrap around the mating part to make sure the silcone only adhered to the collar where the deformation was. I filled the gap where the air hole was and then I assembled the intake properly while the silicone was still wet and let it dry. After a day or 2 I removed the collar again and removed the saran wrap. The intake has worked fine ever since. BUT ... I always check the collar to make sure it's assembled properly when I put it back together. I use a small inspection mirror to check all around the collar. And whenever the car is in the shop I always check this collar again when I get the car back. I don't need more problems because the car was assembled wrong.
 
mickeytee, i checked all the intake bolts and they were tight. Thank you for that information.
RubyRod, I then took the air intake off and found that the resonator plastic part was deformed and there was a dime size space between the rubber collar and the resonator. i heated up the plastic and formed it back in to a circle and then reconnected the rubber collar and resonator and tightened it all up with the band. Will take it for a test drive tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your help.
 
UPDATE: Drove 20 miles....multiple starts...no check engine light. And it just passed inspection. Thank you all.
