Any New Mass Air Flow sensor experiences ?

Has anyone replaced their MAFS lately with good results ?? Where did you buy & what did you pay ?
I'm trying to keep a 96 with 385k alive for cheap.
Any recent experiences would be appreciated.

Junk yard MAF from a 4th gen Maxima or I30. Cleaned and snugged up all the connections. Part was only $20. Still running strong.

You could also do the a MAF resolder. Use the search function or check YouTube. Too easy to not fix/replace your MAF.

^^^^ Same as above.. I've only successfully used 2nd hand OEM MAFs that I've collected from junk yards.

Before I knew the difference, I bought a couple of used aftermarkets that did not work.

The junk yards around here have gone up on MAF pricing. The last one I bought was $40.

Need other members to chime in with their experiences if successful with a good aftermarket. I'm sure there is one out there.

I chose this one based on searching and reading done on this forum ...

http://www.autozone.com/engine-manag...266832_0_12219

Seems to be functioning fine.

I think it's been in the car for about a year maybe a year and half.

The LLT is nice also.

My choice would be Bosch or Beck/Arnley. They are reboxed OEM MAF sensors.

Bosch part number is 63128. I forget what Beck/Arnley's part number is.

I bought the Bosch 2 years ago, and it is still working great after 2 years/25k

Now doesn't the Bosch in the link below look like a gen-u-ine Nissan JECS MAF?

The better deal is at this link.

One year warranty on the Bosch.

Man, that makes it a hard decision over what TB used with a LLW, despite it probably being OEM in sheep's clothing.

I have the same problem choosing between Bosch and Autozone. Original maf went bad after using fram oil air filter and the used i30 maf from eBay lasted about 5 yrs - if that's the culprit lol. But having same isuues with engine dying so just guessing it's maf related.
