MAF sensor,can u change just the sensor ?
Auto parts guy is telling me I have to buy the whole deal , that I can't just replace the sensor itself , is this true ?
He wanted 140 bucks for the whole thing . I don't see what a new round piece of plastic would help , the sensors are made to screw in or out ?
Just thought I'd ask before spending the $$$ , I've seen just the sensors for $ 45 bucks online .
Thanks,
SC.

Keep in mind, that sometimes the screws will pull the nut ferrules out of the housing, so you will risk that.
I have never seen the just the electronics sold seperately, that's a new one to me.

I was going to just pull the sensor out of the maf housing , 2 screws and it just pulls out , some parts place on ebay had them for $45 bucks , but we all know what ebay is worth sometimes !
I replaced the TPS today , cleared the codes and it was a little better , can't you clean the little wires in the maf sensor ? Seems I read that somewhere on here ? I search and see what they were cleaning them with .
It started all this high idle after a few dyno runs with the Nitrous , can the Nitrous mess up the sensor ? I know the Nitrous is shot after the sensor on up the tube .
I don't mind buying a part if thats what bad , seems I end up getting 2 or 3 parts before I get the right one ! I am learning as I'm going , sure miss the old 70 chevelle simplicity
