So I recently had the elusive MAF sensor P0102 code come up. So I ordered the new MAF, installed, and all was good. So today (2 weeks later) I changed out my tial -11 spring with a -8 and coincidentally I went for a short ride to make sure it was running right and went to park it and the RPM's stuck around 2k and my ses light popped on. P0102. Could changing my spring cause this issue or was it just coincidence I see tons of threads of people changing out their springs and not having this issue. It's the tial qr recirc. I also have a k&n filter which I will be getting rid of and going with dry too.

Additional info;
When the MAF went the first time I had the original -11 spring in my tial. Any help would be awesome. Because I can't keep replacing this sensor every 2 weeks...($240/sensor)...
