Alright, I'm returning the Ebay MAF. Today, it only got worse, I drove it over 75 miles, hoping it was just an adaptation problem but the idle is still hunting, the power is way down, its surging at 60-90 mph, and when I launch, it has stalled a couple of times, I have to rev to 3k + just to get off the line, with backfiring and honks from drivers behind me.

I get a stored MAF code at every startup and the straw the broke the camels back is a CELlight. I put the old MAF in and the car runs fine.

I don't know if its just a bad unit, but I don't care. I'm going to try the Pelican MAF and see what haappens.
