Vertex Auto to the rescue. I saw their ad in Excellence with pics of MAF's so I gave them a call. They had the 99660612400 MAF exact replacement for my 2000 base for 240.00 delivered. I just put it in, and the rough idle is gone. Car runs like a top

. I continue to be impressed on how this little 2.7L can push you back into the seat in the first 3 gears....

Makes me wonder if your TTP intake is the cause for it to fail.

"Makes me wonder if your TTP intake is the cause for it to fail."

I was always concerned about that as well. As you have to oil the filter element and too much oil may bugger up the MAF. But, I have put on about 40K with the TTP intake and the same MAF. I have heard of MAF's failing with stock intakes in less than 40K.

Ed,

Thanks for the update. Nice to know I can get the 124 MAF if needed for a decent price!
