Everything you're describing points to a fried MAF.

The only realy way to tell is to swap it (unless you run it in for diagnostics) it'll likely be cheaper to swap it.

I don't remember reading that anywhere in here KS.

It can throw off alot of things. I would almost bet that it is your problem. I would also put your CAI back in while you're at it.

$100.00 Dashnizit? Call one of the big box auto stores. I looked up Advance, and they wanted $130.00 for a remanufactured one. I think we have the 4-pin.

Uh..... Senior moment.....

That's right, put the K&N back in..... Anywhere else around there that would have it? Autozone? I just can't see spending $100.00 on something that the parts guy (or his grease monkey mechanic) might touch with his fingers and not guarantee it because it's an electrical sensor, that's all.

Should be less than 50% of cost for a remanufactured one.

The only problem is if you buy a remanufactured one, and that's not the problem, you're stuck with it -I suppose there's always e-bay! you can sell it there . . .

It may be cheaper to have a diagnostic run, and just know for sure what the deal is.

Call him back and tell him $50.00..... If he doesn't bite, then he can sit on it and never sell it.

If you can't get it for less than $25, just get a diagnostic.

It will be cheaper than buying a new/used unit, and then find out it's not what's messed up.

Heck, take it in for an "oil change" and casually mention the problem. You might get the diagnostic done for free.

It varies, in Arkansas it was $60, here it's $90.

I usually get them for free, but I have a relationship with the Service dept.
