    More Information for STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS MF5288N

    Does anyone know whether or not this is a decent sensor. Its cheaper than the rest but I am worried that being cheaper it is not as good but I do not really have a lot of money right now so I need to find a good deal.

    Thanks in advance.

    Just hit up Morad.

    He'll let em go for like $50 IIRC...and they are just as good as that one. I think I've got a couple MAf's in my pile o junk...want me to take a look for ya? I'll have to go test them though as I'm not sure if they are good or not, LOL.

    All in all though...a MAF is a MAF, IMO.

    if you have maf code, its either a blown fuse, bad wires, or a bad maf.

    Another way to test it out...

    Swap it in another 3800 car and see if it works.

    If it does, then that rules it out.

    I've had success with cardone remanufactured MAF sensors in two of my vehicles. No problems.
