You replace the front EXHAUST manifold for a PLOG, we're talking about the lower INTAKE manifold here, they are two completely different things. I guess you could change the gasket yourself if you have enough skills. I personally wouldn't do it, I don't have the time and disposition to do that much work on my own.
They sell MAF cleaner spray at autoparts stores or you can use electrical connector cleaner.
The recall was for fire hazard I think.

Alright, well I dont have enough experience to do it then myself. And 1k for it to be fixed.. Ugh. And I'll try out the connector spray and try to get it working. I will post it if it did or didnt work anyway.
Edit: Oh and thanks for all the help

watch this vid, it shows how to remove the lim, plus lifters but you don't need to go that far. you can also take lots of pictures along the way and tag wires and hoses so you don't forget where things go. i wouldn't pay a grand to do this job myself, but thats me. or try a local shop, dealers just rape you.

Wow, thats one crazy video. Seems like he's done it quite a few times. I don't really see my doing that myself just yet. I noticed that he changes the valve cover gasket aswell, should I get that done also since it's right there? New rockers while at it? Time to make some phone calls and see what we get. Good video though!
Edit: Underground Performance, quoted around $525, 125 for material, $95 per hour. I provide the gaskets. They estimated 4 hours.. I have a feeling that it might take a little more than that.
