-The **MAF Adj: CombinedFT** menu item is one of several tools you can use to help "dial in" your airflow settings. ​ This particular item maps out and averages [[v3combinedft|CombinedFT]] over a range of closed loop driving conditions to produce a set of adjustments to the current MAF compensation table. ​ It's basically letting the ECU track how much adjustment it needs under various conditions and then moves that adjustment into the MAF compensation table.+The **MAFComp Adjust (CombinedFT)** menu item is one of several tools you can use to help "dial in" your airflow settings. ​ This particular item maps out and averages [[v3combinedft|CombinedFT]] over a range of closed loop driving conditions to produce a set of adjustments to the current MAF compensation table. ​ It's basically letting the ECU track how much adjustment it needs under various conditions and then moves that adjustment into the MAF compensation table.
  
 This function probably helps most with a GM MAF setup run straight to the ECU using ECMLink'​s GM MAF integration option. ​ That particular configuration produces a pretty large number of MAF sample points for fairly typical driving conditions (easily ranging from 500hz to 2000hz for simple idle and cruise conditions). ​ So having a tool which helps establish a decent starting point can be very handy here. This function probably helps most with a GM MAF setup run straight to the ECU using ECMLink'​s GM MAF integration option. ​ That particular configuration produces a pretty large number of MAF sample points for fairly typical driving conditions (easily ranging from 500hz to 2000hz for simple idle and cruise conditions). ​ So having a tool which helps establish a decent starting point can be very handy here.

 **NOTE:​** ​ You're basically changing the very data long term fuel trim was previously based on.  So if you're making fairly large changes to MAF compensation,​ you should consider resetting the long term fuel trim values using the "Reset fuel trims" menu item in the ECU menu. **NOTE:​** ​ You're basically changing the very data long term fuel trim was previously based on.  So if you're making fairly large changes to MAF compensation,​ you should consider resetting the long term fuel trim values using the "Reset fuel trims" menu item in the ECU menu.
