HELP! Need new MAF

So i'm just driving along, everything is just great. Suddenly my car jerks back, RPM's refuse to go over 2300, then the car stalls and the check engine light comes on. I get home, plug in the laptop with Autotap and found out I need a new MAF sensor. I live in Orange County (Costa Mesa). Does any one know a good place to pick one up around here and how much am I roughly looking to spend?

Also, if anyone local could put in a knock sensor for me (compensated of course) it would be much appriciated.

Please let me know about the MAF asap, I need to get to work eventually.

www.car-part.com.. Or check your local junk yards. Get me a plane ticket and I'll have the KS as soon as I get there.

dont go to the dealership for the MAF. they charge about $500 for it. a pretty penny. and try not to put the car under load, especially up hills. it'll stall. ive been there before. post up in the westcoast forums for better feedback on the KS. ive done it but youre a bit far from me.

I see a pattern here... Possible sarcasm on my part.

Take easy, man. The labor day long weekend is coming. Get parts and tools ready and enjoy the DIY. It would save you a lot of $$$.

Just my $.02

A quick question, I know for the most part the engines on the 4th gen are genericly the same, would it be ok to use a MAF from maxim'a between 1996 to 1999? Mine is a 1998

It would be Ok to use one from a 95-99 Nissan Maxima, as well as a 96-99 Infiniti I30.

I got mine from the site I posted for 35$ shipped, in 3 days, I was enjoying RPM's above 2500 again..No stalling, and it has been 2 years since the 1st one died.
