Question though. Do you have to reset the ODB (battery disconnect etc) so that it learns the ways of the new MAF? The reason I'm asking is i tried to put the old MAF back and man was it creaking and groaning and fluttering.
The are a couple of techniques regarding the battery disconnect. If my memory serves me correctly, one way is to leave the negative terminal disconnected while installing the new sensor. Then afterwards, turn the ignition to the full on position for approximately 60 seconds, and then remove the keys from the ignition before starting . Hopefully some others will chime in.
