What is the price of a new MAF???
#2
I am not sure what the cost is, but I was thinking that maybe we are not ruining these MAFs like we think. It may be that the intake is cause the MAF to send a reading to the ECU that is out of normal range. Therefore the ECU assumes something is wrong with the MAF and triggers a code showing that there is an error with it. Has anyone tried to reset the ECU and see if the light stays off?

Strange,
One dealer told me $103.00 and the other told me $525.00.

the sensor part is only $62.50 from courtesy. part number :22680-AD210. Discription: Meter Assy. i got these info off a thread here.

edit: this part only works on 00-01s.

All the intakes I've seen eliminate MAF to chasis and MAF to engine isolation. The rubber grommets and intake accordian tube prevent vibration from traveling to the MAF sensor.
In most of the reported MAF sensor failures, I suspect:
1) The installer was "rough" during the removal of the stock intake and installation of the aftermarket intake and caused the MAF failure.
2) The filter was over oiled by the manufacturer or by the installer and contaminated the MAF "hot wire".
3) The aftermarket intakes failure to isolate the MAF from vibration and over time the vibration leads to premature failure.
The reason for some MAF failures happening sooner and others having no problems depends on how much shock the MAF can tolerate, which depends on the type of operating conditions of the car and the MAF itself.
Ideally, the aftermarket intake will provide equal isolation from chasis and engine vibration. Otherwise, it's just a gamble on when the MAF will fail.

there's two prices for our maf's, 2k - 2k1. the initial offering, i think for 2k, is expensive, somewhere over $400. the newer offering is much more affordable at less than $100.
don't ask me why this difference in price and/or nissan's changing of the part cuz i don't know. i priced these with daveb and that's where i'm getting my numbers from. he also told me that we could fit a 2k1 maf on our 2k's with an ecu reprogramming.. otherewise SES light but no apparent functional differences.

I'm hoping to isolate the engine vibration with the stock accordian tube and a rubber mount for the chasis vibration.
Thanks.

Just searched for this thread. Where and how can I get that accordian section? If vibration is the true culprit to MAF sensor failure, which I am almost positive it is, I would like to get a set up like this to prevent it from happening again. I am even pondering getting sound deadening material used for car audio and wrapping it around my mid pipe and maf to kill the vibration.
