Thread: MAF sensor problem?

get a used oem maf from a junk yard, they run cheap, about 40 bucks. they are the same maf in n/a engines and s/c. they are used in a lot of GM cars. you need a 99 to 01 iirc maf tho, just write down your part #, its on top the maf, look for it in the yard.

also check the wires leading to the maf plug, look for missing insulation. if the wires are damaged the same code will be set, or make it act up.

there is also a maf fuse in the fuse box. look for it and check it.

pcm laying there has nothing to do with it, many of us let it lay there with no issues, including myself.

My maf died with a low input code as well. Mine was intermittant though and it never made it not run. Mine would randomly start reading 0hz while driving and immediately set a cel and the pcm would just switch to my crappy (but correctly tuned) map table. Went to the junkyard and the lady told me 5$ for the one i pulled.... I pulled another 4 while I was there once she told me that. She looked a little lost like her hubby had gone on lunch and left her there.
