| Grabbed a Denso 234-4012, will be here Tuesday. Will spray the existing one with PB tomorrow and Tuesday to make life easier.
Does anyone think I should throw in my OEM MAF (same p/n as the N*) and flash the tune I had before installing the N* to see what happens? | |

| The sensor that came along with the northstar setup has the same part number as your oem one? I don't know if I ever looked into that. | |

Yep. Parts stores don't show it but they are indeed the same exact sensor (96-98 L67 = 96-99 N*) The reason the usually don't show up together is because most places want you to buy the whole plastic housing with the MAF for the N* while they only want you to get the sensor for the L67. I can even take a picture of the 2 side by side so you can see that they are the exact same ones if you would like. | |

| New sensor is in, going to get a good scan whenever I go back out. Should I re-enable the stock PE settings, or leave them at 100%? | |

| Well I found a guy on GP forums with pretty much exactly the same issue as me, only he has the 72mm zzp stage 2 body. Another guy said just to bump the stock tables up 25% and start from there. Wouldn't you know it? Knock is mostly gone. | |

Also, you may need to adjust the idle set screw. The IAC should technically take care of it but on mine I had to increase the stop a bit to get the idle smoothed out. Would the idle set screw on a northstar TB set the stage for lean fuel trims at zero throttle? should it be backed out a bit to adjust for the 3800 idle and cruise? Seeing lean trims at 0 throttle and cannot find a vac leak. Scraping for anything else I can check.   | |

| When I did mine I just had to start/drive it a few times and it learned itself. Fuel trims were still a bit off until I dicked with them, but it finally started to idle/run right after a couple days. | |
