To make a long story short I rebuilt an engine, replaced every sensor, nut bolt and screw as some idiot sprayed the engine compartment down with acid based wheel cleaner which destroyed all the plating on bolts and nuts, it even ate a hole through the throttle body and starter nose. Luckily I had a good one of these with low miles with a known good MAP.
I had to replace the whole air cleaner system as they bent the rubber into the throttle body and broke the air cleaner case causing a air leak.
I did not replace the MAF, started it up, let it run 20 min and changed the oil, drove it 50 miles and it ran perfectly until I stopped for gas. The thing would not stay running at idle with a CEL, the friggin MAF crapped out. I need one ASAP, AZ had some crap for $120 and Amazon a Delpi for $55.
Ok got the delphi installed it and got 5 miles before a CEL for a lean code, fuel trims at 18, another bad MAF. Not playing this game anymore I ordered a MAF from the dealer, he dropped it on my door the same day $140. The car again runs perfectly with 0 fuel trim.
These defective new aftermarket parts even from supposed good brand names are getting to me, it is becoming more common every day. Every other part exept the 6 stars (Cometic) head gaskets are OE and nothing failed. Rant over. LOL
