Woody.

Thanks for the information. I did a bit more research and you are correct, there are a few options...
My problem is that I don't have the MAF from the car to verify the part number.

The car was running great last year when I acquired it (no CEL/etc). Drove for a few months with no issues. I parked it for the last six months and now it is throwing a CEL. Code points to the MAF so I go to pull the MAF and clean it to see if that helps and the plug just falls off it. Also the security screws are gone and regular screws instead. Upon closer inspection the MAF is from a completely different car and the socket where the plug goes was filed down to make the plug fit...

Long story short is I don't know which MAF to use...
Proper fix is probably get the latest MAF and have the software updated to match it?
Any clue what happens if the MAF doesn't match the software version?

Probably a post for a different thread...

Sorry to hijack!
