97SE mass air flow sensor gone bad??
I was having trouble cranking my car and got many useful suggestions. I have now been told by the latest mechanic that my mass air flow sensor has gone bad and my #1 cylinder is not firing properly. Has anyone else had this problem? I've never heard of that particular sensor going bad?
Would anyone think getting a second hand sensor would be a bad idea?

It sounds like the MAFS. I had a similar problem. Bought a MAFS off of www.car-part.com and saved a fortune.

When My MAFS went, My car went into 'Limp Mode' - ie, It wouldn't go above 2400 RPMS. If that's your symptom, then It's probably your MAF. If you buy it new, its mucho grande dolares - my new one cost me $700 from the factory. But mine was FRIED - It's freaking circuits were fused together! I'd say get Steve's, god, I wish I could've found a deal like that!
