Ahh interesting. FYI, mine would read 3Hz from time to time for 'no reason'. Well as it turns out I was getting moisture inside my MAF-T controller box. My car had been at a local shop and when it got home I noticed that the cover was missing. They sent me the cover, but never sent the screws so it was a problem from time to time after that. In the end, I used a little bit of silicone around the edge of the thing to keep moisture out and I never had a problem after that.

It would happen after I'd go through a car wash, if it was snowing REALLY hard/wet, in the rain, etc. Everything would be fine, I'd be cruising along or whatever and then the car would just run like shit all of a sudden. I'd look down at my SAFC and it read 3 Hz, i.e. zero. A few minutes with either a hair dryer, compressed air hose, or me blowing over and over and over and over on the electronics inside the thing would 'fix' it, but it was not fun, I'll tell you that.

Good luck!
