MAF Sensor

Post by Surfrider »

I need a MAF sensor for my 90 Volvo 740 non-turbo.

I see them on Ebay from $60-$300. My local parts place wants $200 for a rebuilt one.

Where's the best place to buy one and what can I expect to pay?

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

I purchased a MAF from eBay and even though it said it was the right part, it didn't work (caused my Vovlo 960 to idle very rough). When I bought a "used" one from eBay with the same part number, it worked fine.

I'd rather try a good used OE AMM than try a rebuilt one.

I thought I needed a new MAF but it turned out that I had holes in my AMM boot:

I super-cleaned my MAF with CRC MAF Cleaner, installed a new AMM boot, cleaned the throttle body, reset the codes and everything works great - no codes, perfect functioning.

But, I made the mistake of ordering a new aftermarket MAF from eBay for $54 based on the codes, before discovering the AMM boot holes ... so I now have a brand new aftermarket MAF that I'd gladly send to you for $50 w free shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

SUNRG-

A couple of questions.

What model will your MAF sensor fit?

How do you re-set codes?

Thanks
