Is your K&N the drop-in type that replaces the stock filter in the airbox or the cone type which completely replaces the air box?

I've heard this same story before. Ford told my friend his went bad on his Probe becuase of the K&N he had. IMO, I think it may occur in some instances, especially with older sensors. Just replace the sensor and put the filter back on, it'll be fine.

hey mike it's the cone type.. and the thing with that is that the sensor got dirt in it, atleast that's what the mechanic told me, that k&n air filters has too many little wholes that doesn't quite filter the dirt.. thanks

oh man... DIRT IS BAD!!!! No wonder's your sensor died on you. Please be careful with the MAF... that is a vital part of the intake system... They are expensive to replace too. I modified my MAF but I recommend NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS PLEASE!! Becareful with aftermarket filters.. make sure you reset the ECU and also make sure that the filter does what it's supposed to do..FILTERS AIR. Be safe.. buy a CAI.. hehe
