Good Evening ,
It could be wiring or a bad sensor , which code are you getting ?

I'm getting P0106. One of the reasons I'm confused is because, while I'm positive that my car has a map sensor, I can't find a lot of info on my specific year vehicle (2011) on whether or not it ALSO has a maf sensor? I figured it would probably have only one or the other, since I thought they did the same thing, but I just got the map sensor new and right after installing it i was still getting the same code (p0106) however, the check engine light had turned off and the car was performing perfectly until yesterday.I'm also pretty sure I had squirrels in my engine bay because I found a bunch of empty nut shells when I was switching out my spark plugs. I don't know if the squirrels were chewing through wires. I would prefer to make repairs myself both so I can learn and so I can make sure I don't get my chain yanked, but I just don't know where to start.

OK give me a minute to look up some information on it for you
Your car doesn't have a mass airflow sensor . I'm going to 1st send you a wiring diagram , of the engine controls in case you need to track down some squirrel damage

Here is information on checking the code, ideally you would want to view data on a scanner , but if you cant do that you can at least verify voltage

Hello, I recently replaced my map sensor, and everything was fine for a while, but my check engine light just turned back on and I’m reading a code that says my map sensor is still messed up. Could this be a problem with the wiring? Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light stay on, or does it blink? It just stays on. The car feels shakier now when I’m either in park or idling. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS 2.4 L engine Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Santa Fe yourself? What have you tried so far? I replaced all of my spark plugs because I had a cylinder 4 misfire, and that code disappeared. I am fixing it myself, yeah. I also bought a new map sensor and replaced it since I was getting a code saying my map sensor wasn’t working. Right after switching everything out the car was performing great, and my gas mileage immediately got better, but it’s shaking now and the light turned back on :/ Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Just that I am not a professional but I do have a code reader if that helps
