1) have any of you had ongoing success with cleaning the MAF or is it usually a "replace" type of situation ?
2) the dealer quoted $200 in LABOR for this repair, but it looks like a 15 minute swap out. Am i missing something here?
3) what are the hazards of driving with the MAF disconnected ?
4) what should I expect to pay for the new part and where is the best place to purchase?
As always, THXX in advance.

1- Mine didn't respond to the MAF cleaning, since I was getting a P0102 code. Replacement resolved the issue.
2- Tell your dealer "Thank You for the ridiculous labor quote, as that allowed you to research the install process, and made you realize how simple it is for your car." They might change their install quote to get your business.
3- Poor fuel economy, poor power.
4- Other people answered that for you already.
