Thread: maf problems... A G A I N!!

I drove for bout a yr n half with cel on, was a bad maf (odb p103 was showning) got tired of bad gas mileage and bought a used one from somebody on ebay... Got installed this past may, now just the other day i notice my gas mileage was dropping while driving on the highway... Next thing u know the cel light came on! Had a buddy run the code, same one as b4... P103.

Should i replace the wiring harners along with the MAF sensor this time..?? Car runs like krap now! Lot worse than b4 the first time the maf was bad..

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT GUY!!!

THANKX

i have the seller saved if you need it.

I may go this route... Im waiting to hear from morad if they have any maf's. I may break down and spend the xtra $$ for a new one.. Just dont want that one to fail 3 months down the road!! Ill check the pigtail/wires in morning..

Whats the sellers name.??

No I do not believe so.. it worked for right around two months gas mileage went high and no cel came on so I had a reason to believe it was bad. Car ran soooooooo much better! No rough idle
