MAF headache. Dealer can't help.
Hey guys. (I have a 2000 3.0L)
I went to the dealer thinking FINALLY I'll just get my bad maf fixed.
Wrong. They only have the 5pin. My car doesn't even run on a 5pin, it uses a 4.
I told them that I read something about needing a reflash to use the newer
5pin but they had no idea about that.
No help what so ever. All part stores only have the 5pin.
I have no idea what to do next. There doesn't seem to be a fix.
Has anyone come across this problem?
There are replacments on ebay, BUT my maf housing doesn't even have a part number on it.
I can take pictures of the sensor for you guys if that helps.
Any opinions or advice is appreciated.

Call and speak to Wayne, Big Wayne, or Ray.
The new MAF with the green dot and 5 pins will work. The 2000 connector has 5 slots, but 4 wires, the new MAF has 5 pins, but only 4 are needed. I installed one myself, and seems to be working just fine
