Hello,
You may, or may not be aware of this, so let me mention it. Fault codes are not part specific, they just reduce the field for trouble shooting. Code 101 sounds like it may recognise a problem with the emission system. I would try the following;

1. Make sure you have a clean air filter. Engines need a proper fuel/air mix ratio, a dirty filter prevents the engine from getting the air it needs.

2. MAF, you already did the mass air flow sensor, but, make certain that all of the hoses and vacuum lines were properly reconnected.

3. Oxygen sensor. If this part is faulty, it will have a number of similar effects as the MAF. You do have 1 in front, ( before the catalytic converter ), and 1 in the back, ( behind the catalytic converter)
I would have both of these checked.

I hope this helps you.

2008 Chevy Kodiak c4500 duramax desiel code reader (Innova 3100 Can OBD2) shows P0102, what does it mean

P0102 Chevrolet - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input

Read more: http://engine-codes.com/p0102_chevrolet.html#ixzz38p5k1ZD8

Possible causes - Faulty mass air flow sensor
- Intake air leaks
- Dirty mass air flow sensor
- Dirty mass air filter
- Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
- Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.

I have a 1999 oldsmobile intrigue that is misting a lot. It idels rough, and runs rough. I can still take off it is a little slow, but I can still go pretty fast, but it still mist at the high speeds...

fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail is probably it or the egr valve is stuck open allowing burnt fuel to flood the intake, im leaning towards the fuel pressure regulator because the o2sensor is probably reading rich or if its reading lean then i would choose the egr valve . good luck
