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.

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...

take old one out, put new one in

Just received my new MAF today (from Pelican), I think the hardest part of the install will be locating one of those torx security bits.

NAPA, Sears, Harbor Freight, just about anyone who sells tools. I got mine at Napa for under $6. Ed

I replaced my Boxster maf in the parking lot of Autozone. Took me about 10 minutes IIRC.
