With out paying the $400 at the dealer. Where can i get another MAF sensor?

At 68,000 miles this car is getting to be an expensive pain in the ***. I need a new Evap. control valve in the rear, mass air flow sensor AND brakes turned for the SECOND time.

DaveB - 888-254-6060

or some people use 2001 MAF which is less than $100 but I think it's not a direct replacement.

You can also get them fairly cheap from courtesyparts.com Its easy to replace, 10 minutes max. 4 bolts, a clamp, and disconnect the wiring harness.

Its even faster if you leave the tube in and just remove the two torqs screws, and pull the sensor out the top.

Just buy an 01 Maf, and swap the thermister out of the old one to the new one. $87 fix.

You can use it w/o the IAT, but it will throw a CEL.

See link in post #5.
