Unplugging MAF put me in the low octane table.
I blew an intake tube off the other day, and unplugged the maf so it would run long enough to get home. I put the tube back on, cleared the SES, and forgot about it.
Last night I noticed it was feeling down on power, so I logged a WOT run. I was seeing 5 degrees of timing. No wonder it felt slow! I reloaded my tune, I'm back at 17 now, and everything's back to normal.
Do you guys think it was the MAF code that sent it to low octane table? Did anyone know that our pcm's do this?

Yep, the PCM switches to the low octane table when there is a MAF fault. Guys who are tuning in speed density and unplugging the MAF set there low octane table the same as the high octane table to get around this.

If you just unplug it to change an intake or something and don't turn the computer on then everything will be fine as long as you plug it back in before turning the key.

Yesterday, I was showing off my Airbox mod to someone and forgot to reconnect the MAF. While I was driving home the SES light came on. I got home and reconnected the the cable and haven't driven the truck since. Will this cause my truck to go to a low octane table. I have HPtunning set to 92 octane. What should I do?

Just reinstalling the tune won't get rid of the code.
If I misunderstood what you're saying I apologize.
