Check vsc
So my check vsc, traction, and check engine light came up a fee days a go.. and i ran some codes and it said something about the mass air flow sensor.. so whatver i changed it right.
Lights are still up.. so far that car aint struggling to run, its not iddling wrong. I took off the air filter box and it had a dent where the hose connects and its ripped alittle can that be my problem? Can someone help me out.. i gotta do my smog this week and renew my plates... thank you.

Get a heat gun, or maybe a hair dryer. Heat up the plastic and form back in place. As for once molded some super glue may help to seal the crack. The clamp that goes their doesn't need to be over exaggeratedly tightened. The engine heat will shrink down the rubber a bit. Providing a good seal so no need to clamp it down too much.

That kink in your air box from cranking down on the intake tube clamp too much is causing a post-MAF air source to feed the engine, so the ECU can't fuel the engine properly. What specific code is it throwing?
Edit: either that, or the kink is stalling the airflow behind the MAF, causing it's readings to be off, can't fuel engine, yadda yadda yadda...

Make sure when securing the pipe to the air box top.
The clamp is on the top position. I've installed the Joe Z pipe before, and if it's not in the position. It will start to make the MAF outlet oval in that vertical position. That's probably going to affect MAF readings. By doing it like in the picture the outlet is more concentric when clamping it down. Again no need to over tighten this thing. A few inch pounds should be sufficient.
