Alright. My check engine light came on today, so i went to autozone to get it pulled. I can't remember the exact code number, but the error was "MAF ground fault." So i was told it's either a bad maf, or a bad ground wire in the maf harness. Great I'm thinking, all i have to do is borrow someone's Maf that i know works and hook it up, and see if it is a bad maf or a bad wire.. Problem is, only person that had a turbo dsm is off to the military, so.. My question is, does the maf have to be off of a turbo dsm.? or could I borrow one from say, a Galant (the maf looks identical, but i don't want to fry anything and/or misdiagnose my problem.)

2nd question. I hooked a multimeter up to my O2 voltage wire, because to see what the voltage was, and it was flucuating between .2 and .9.. I thought o2 voltage was supposed to be around .92 or so (this was at idle) Anyone have any idea what this means.? bad 02.? or is that just a result of the bad maf.?
