I Keep Blowing Maf Sensors
I'm on my fourth maf sensor now.. 03 3.5 swap
The problem mainly starts if its wet out or theres a lot of moisture in the air. I initially get symptoms of hesitation, loss of power, bucking etc., then the car dies and will only crank.
Once I put another sensor in it starts right up no problem...
Anybody else have similar problem? I haven't had chance to check the maf harness yet but is there anything else I should check for???

If you keep replacing the same part, and the problem continues to happen over and over again, then I think it's time you start looking at something else as the cause.
The MAF sensor doesn't pick up or have the ability to read or sense moisture.
Aftermarket or stock intake?

I seen this video that says oil filters damaging mafs is a myth? Or maybe our sensors are much more sensitive? Idk at this point...

So I switched the filter out earlier to one I had on my other car, forgot it would fit..
Drove fine no issues. I shut the car off to cool down. Tried to start, it just cranks. Wtf?? I'm startin to think my wiring harness is

Just got my codes scanned and I have a p1320 ignition code. Going to grab coils..
Still running a 3.0 maf atm. I'll look into doing that thanks

So I think I found the problem.. Turns out I forgot I had a 3.5 oil pan and 3.5 crank sensor spliced into the harness.. Bought a 3.5 cps and so far so good
The difference in the 3.0 cps and 3.5 is the 3.5 cps is slightly longer
Thanks for the help guys!

Still blowing maf sensors. Only sensor I haven't changed was the cam sensor... When I plug a new sensor it it runs. Once the car is warm I shut it off and it won't start again...
I'm at the end of the road with this car. No issues until recently

I'm wondering if the alternator/battery is getting hot when it runs, making the maf malfunction??

Ecu is 4th gen and maf is 4th gen. Is the motor 3.5 swap completly top and bottom. Is the harness all of a 4th gen or 5th gen. Is the fuse box completly been swaped replaced 5th gen. I am trying to pinpoint the problem. The voltage is spiting out big somewhere. The maf try 5th gen.

I have a 5th gen maf and plug on the way. But if I'm not mistaken, 5th gen maf has 4 wires and 4th gen has 3?
Which was my next question in finding how to wire the 5th gen maf

I got the 5th gen maf and I'm looking at it, but I don't understand what you mean with the color connections

Sorry for the late update Ive been busy. Took a break from crying myself to sleep..
Finally got around to grounding the maf sensor today. When I tested it it was out of specs. After grounding the voltage dropped significantly...
So I figured I fixed it, but then the car wouldn't start after shutting the car off...
Turns out the cam sensor was also bad. After replacing car starts and drives with no issues again.. ✌
I'll keep this post updated if I run into anymore issues (I hope not)
