I am never satisfied with my diagnosis. Spent all night with it checking ect when a cel comes up p0130 or 103 for maf. Returned it to the zone and got myself a reman bosch. It is amazing. Cel cleared and drives amazing. Mark it as solved. Ruled out the maf as I got it 4 months ago... never assume

This confirms what we have been saying all along, while some have some luck with aftermarket MAF, the only thing that works is Bosch MAF.

This is a safety device (if you stall on the highway it is not fun, been there done that!). MAF is not something I want to play with. When my MAF died, I got a Bosch for $150. Pay now or pay later.

Or go to junk yard and get a used Bosch MAF, still better than brand-new aftermarket junk.
