P0100 - Volume Air Circiut Malfunction

i searched and only got two results and didn't really get a straight answer. can someone explain to me what could cause this. i was driving on the on ramp getting ready to merge onto the interstate and boosting around 10psi when the light came on. when i got home, i cleared the code with my pocketlogger and drove around for 20 miles and the engine light never came back on.

so is this something related to after market intake, like stalling when sitting next to a loud V8.

^^

it's another problem associated with aftermarket intakes. pressure pulses from the loud v8 cause the MAF to go berserk and make your engine sputter or even stall. it's a pretty comon problem from what i've read on here so far. and yes, it does happen to me some times.
