maf sensor tabs broke off.

I was cleaning my maf sensor and then took my i35 for a test drive. When I

went to check on my intake i notice that all four tabs on the sensor fell off. To

begin with two tabs broke off long time ago. These tabs i am talking about

connect my lower part of my injen cold air intake. Now, I have no clue what to do. Should i buy

another maf sensor. thanks

That's just the MAF sensor housing. Get another one from a junk yard or call Dave B. for a new one. The MAF comes out and can be put in the new housing.

Doesn't look like you can get a MAF housing separately from Nissan, so the cheapest option for brand new OEM would be the A33 MAF, at ~$80 shipped.

Indeed, a junkyard would be the best bet.

If you absolutely need to keep everything together for the time being and you don't mind buying a new MAF adapter as well, time to break out the superglue (or something) and attach the MAF adapter directly to the MAF housing.
