Bought car and it always has had a low power issue when the outside temp is around 15 or colder. It can be plugged in and in a heated garage and after a few miles power is lost. Above that temp no issues. Lots of power. Fuel mileage not noticeably different. Boost can still be ramped up with no difference in power. Struggling to get past 60 on the interstate once car is on for a few miles. Unplugging the MAF and all is good again. I have replaced the MAF with new and another working used from another car I own. Same results. My 1981 rabbit had more power when this happens.
Car had a rocket chip tune and now kerma stage 1. Stock everything. Fuel filter also replaced. Only solves have been unplugged MAF below 15 degrees or not drive below that temp. Can a MAF function go good/bad with the temp. Is there something else I can look at? Could a previous owner hardwired something to possibly jack up the power by tricking the temp only to make it bad when cold? Nothing blocking the intake. Has cold weather grill blocks in the front and full metal jacket for the belly pan.
