HELP!!! I'm stranded... very Urgent!!
I think the Frankencar just bit me in the ***! I was pulling out in to traffic at lunch under heavy acceleration and she died! Poof! Luckily I had the momentum to cost in to a parking lot. I could crank it for a few seconds then it sputters & quits.
I'm almost positive its the MAF, especially after reading some other posts. I read a post with identical symptoms from the first of this month on a 2k2 (or 2k3). My car is a 2000. I saw where Dave Burnette has replacements so you don't have to buy the whole thing but the part # I saw was #22680-AM600 for the 3.5. Does anyone have a part # for the 3.0? Cost ideas?
Also can I disconnect the MAF long enough to get it home tonight w/out screwing anything up or do I need to get it towed? I'm sorry I'm rambling but this is tearing me up... especially when I saw these things could cost $500!!
Please help. Thanks Gang!

did you try degreaser on the sensor? some users have had success with that. just disconnect the battery, remove the maf, then spray some degreaser into the tube and let it run onto the sensor. rinse, dry as best you can, and reconnect everything. if it's the filter oil causing this, this simple fix should do it.

unplug maf....drive home. im on maf #5 due to some stupid 2k2 crap. I have a 2k1 MAF..but you hafta send me a 2k2 one..and i'll pay you 20 bucks. Im running a 2k1 maf right now, but i need to replace it with a 2k2 maf so i can go to the dealer for my TSB. So bascially i'll pay you to swap MAF's with me.

ooohhh *slaps head*. I had already ordered the new one by the time I read your post. Besides, the 2k2 maf is like $390 or so... way more than my $89 2k maf.

How come people keep talking about failing MAF sensors? I have never had that problem before. So far, my only problems with this car are a fixed suspension problem, and the notorious paint. So am I lucky or is it still going to happen?

*sigh* I stepped out of my buddy's car after work and my hot neighbor was walking out... no sooner do I put my feet on the pavement when I hear, "What happened to your car." All I could say was, "I broke it." No one to blame but myself for putting that aftermarket intake on.
Ah well. Probably should have bought 2 mafs cause I haven't learned my lesson yet. I'm keeping the new intake.

No offense to anyone intended, but I don't get it. I've been reading about these failures for over a year on this board, and still see people spending $$ on intakes. I'll sacrifice the 5-10 hp and know I'm going to get home.
If you have a spare part in the trunk of your $25k car because you know it will probably break down, you might want to get a tuner car to screw with on the weekend.
Flame away!

Just out of curiosity, what really caused the failure of the MAF, vibration or oil coming from the cone or both? Do people with GAB/PAB have any problems so far?

Question to guys using a brace... its supposed to attach to the strut tower, right? If this is the case is seems like it would jerk the MAF around when the enige torques. Any thoughts on this?
