Maf Diy

Hi, I have searched for MAF DIY instructions, does anyone have a link to a thread or a website that has detailed MAF replacement instructions?

no real extensive DIY necessary...

- put top into service position and remove engine cover (and speaker box, carpeting, etc.)
- release wire connector from top side of MAF
- using (T-20 IIRC) torx security bit, remove two screws holding in MAF
- pull up on MAF to extract

At this point, you can either try and clean your existing MAF w/ QD Electronic parts cleaner or just replace. Reverse directions to install.

thus why you should get it online:

AuthausAZ.com has it for $170 or $229 Depending on w or w/o e-gas

You 'should' have the e-gas model though. Still 50%+ savings from local stealer

I never buy anything from a local stealership. You got the name right!

Buy it from sunset in oregon and you'll save gobs and gobs of cash...
