If the Check Engine Light is on, get the codes read from the ECU. It will help us figure it out. Plus (not trying to be an *** either) include a period or two in your posts so we know when one sentence starts and ends. It was hard to read.

If the EPC light comes on, it should trip a code on the ECU. It might not necessarily turn on the Check Engine Light. I'd get the codes read from the ECU regardless.

You can also disconnect the electrical connection from the MAF Sensor and see if the problem goes away. The Check Engine Light will come on then but it will probably run better because if the MAF is misreporting the air flow, the ECU will add or withhold fuel causing the engine to do strange things.

It is possible to clean the MAF Sensor if the thing happens to have a little debris in it. It only takes just a little trash in the things to cause it to misread the air flow. Use ONLY a MAF cleaning fluid. You can get it at Automotive Stores. Should be there with Carb Cleaner sprays and such.

I adjusted my right rear camber from positive and tried to come close as possible to zero but now my EPC light is on and my steering wheel is turned right when wheels are straight. Does anyone have any info on this or what to do? thanks.
