ZPI stage 0 owners - need quick help (easy)

I didn't get the sheet in the box on how to recalibrate the MAF and drive-by-wire system. If one of you guys could send it to me or explain on here how to do it I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks ahead of time.

It's supposed to be "very easy" - they just forgot to include the sheet on how to do it in the packaging (like the directions say). It's the "first thing you will need to do with the car up and running".

Yea, drive it. You can't "recalibrate" the MAF without a computer. The ecu just needs to realize wtf is going on and it will smooth things out.

yeah you just drive it around for the bit so the car learns. Had to do it when i got mine. I think it took 5-10 minutes of driving. Dont be scared on the sloppyness itll go away.

I didnt really mean it in a sarcastic way, so I hope it didnt come off that way. Its just that I see the phrase "recalibrate the MAF" on here so often, and its just completely in-accurate.

nope drive it around for a while...id say put about 50 miles or so on it. then reset the ecu..unplug battery let sit for about 10-15 min then plug back in and let idle for about another 10 and you'll be fine.
