help with MAF

i got 1123 1125 1128 and 1130 codes.
i tried cleaning the MAF a few times with no success, so im just gonna replace it.
does anyone know where the cheapest place is to get this.
i have a 98 so non e-gas is the one that i need

funny thing is, i think that the MAF is fine, but that its because of the EVOintake that its acting up, because all the parts are connected with silicone hoses, and you know how that goes, you can move it an inch here and an inch there, so maybe thats what is causing it to get the faulty readings, being further away a little or too close,s something like that.... would that be a rational explanation?

i noticed absolutely no power loss, i would even go to say that it increased more with no snorkel and a cone rite by the intake hole in the car. hmmm

when i installed everything i didn't oil the cone any more than what it was on it.

anyone have any ideas?

but do you think that the MAF is causing all of those codes?

PL, thx for the link man. i just ordered it, ended up costing me anothe r10 bux for 2nd day delivery for shippping. sweet.

i started the car today, and wow it didnt really like running, it was kinda sputtering, and u can hear that something is definitely wrong. so ill be waiting for the MAF and then turn it on again to see what is up.

hopefully this will fix the problem. i will let you guys know.

I assumed you have already, but did you search those CEL codes on Renntech?
maybe unrelated, but unless I'm going to get some power north of 15HP, I don't mess with oiled filters.

p.s.
Double check your confirmation email on the parts order. after getting 987 floor mats for my 986 (even though I asked for 986) I call in to verify all my orders have the correct model year.
