MAF Question? please help

[Mauiboxster]

ok, i think i may have done something i was not supposed to. i sprayed when the connectors are also. what this a bad move?

I started the car without it plugged in and it was back to good. So I will have to order one from the mainland. It will take a week to get it most likely so my question is can i drive it without one until then?

Good and Bad new,

I will start with the good. I remembered a guy that lived here that owns a Boxster that is not running. He has parked it and is going to put an electic motor in it so I bought his MAF sensor which was installed but has no miles on it for 120 bucks.

I went to pick it up, now get this. He lives 40 miles away. I put the old MAF in and just left it unplugged. I got no codes on the way and the car ran perfect. I get there install the new one. Plug it in and the car is back to running perfect only problem now is the check engine light is back on AND i am getting two codes now p0102 and p0112. Seams to have something to do with the MAF again but I am not sure exactly what to do. I drove the car back another 40 miles and the light stayed on but it ran fine.

Anyone have any sugestions.

This is such a PITA!

What year was the car you got the MAF from? There are a couple of different MAF's available depending on what year the car is. I am pretty sure they are not interchangable.
If you haven't joined RennTech yet, there is a good DIY on how to check the MAF for proper operation.

It is from the correct car. The part number is the same. He had a 98 i have a 99.

Maybe his was bad too? I'm not a fan of the maf cleaning, mine went bad and cleaning it was a bog waste of time. Macs wear put if huts goes bad change it, the maf wears out just like spark plugs wear out, once I put in a new mad my car ran awesome with more top end pill. I the does u have r ma related I'd her a new one. Nthere are difeent ones so call a dealer or check the various threads here and on rennlist to make sure u got the right one.

When I changed mine, I had my mechanic order the part and when it went in my car idled and kinda sputtered for a few minutes, then settled down and no she runs vitchen, so in
