Mass air flow sensor questions

[xxburkettxx07]

Went to put mass air flow sensor I got from salvage yard and it looks nothing like mine, I have 98 gtp with 2001 gtp motor are there two different sensors

[tomtom123]

I don't remember what year they switched

I imagine this is what you need? It's a pic from my 99GTP

[xxburkettxx07]

That's what the one looks like they gave me ave that will not even come close to fitting in the hole in the throttle body

[tomtom123]

I see. That's weird. I was told the shorter ones are the ones from the like 96 and older cars. Apparently I was told wrong. The one for my car is like $140 for a reman from Autozone up here o.O

[xxburkettxx07]

Guess I'll take the sensor I got from salvage yard back and pull the sensor out of my car while in there n see if they can find me the right one, idk what else to do

97-98 mafs are different than 99+ mafs in a grand prix. The thorttle body is the reason why, they are different on the inside.

[xxburkettxx07]

So I have the smaller sensor in my throttle body now, what year is that from, I have a spare throttle body that takes the bigger sensor

[tomtom123]

Thats what I thought. His engine is from an 01 but apparently the 98 throttle body

[tomtom123]

The smaller sensor in your throttle body would be the 98 and older style

[xxburkettxx07]

Alright thanks guys

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Right, and you want to run whatever MAF the computer is setup for.

So if you still have the 98 computer, run that throttle body and MAF sensor.

If you want a 97-98 MAF, I have a brand new Delphi one for $80

[xxburkettxx07]

Would it hurt if I ran 98 computer with the 01maf

[tomtom123]

Right, and you want to run whatever MAF the computer is setup for.

So if you still have the 98 computer, run that throttle body and MAF sensor.

I think FFDP here was saying it is a bad idea to run the 99+ throttle body and sensor if the computer is set up for the 98 throttle body and sensor

[HighOctaneRacing]

Thats what he IS saying TomTom

[tomtom123]

Yeah, I was trying to kindly get that point across instead of saying something like, "do you even know how to read? It was just typed out for you" I thought I would just kinda restate the point =P
