Are all 2g MAF the same?

[prosser9981]

I have had a faulty MAF and ordered a replacement from eBay.
The seller advertised as a #609 but shipped me a #338.
My original is a E5T06071 #609, but the seller sent me a E5T06071 #338.
After installing my car runs like complete shit.
Is this because the 338 and 609 are completely different?

The connector is the same and the sensor itself looks identical.

Any pics maybe you got a bad maf.

I agree, pictures would be good.

My original is
MITSUBISHI AIRFLOW METER E5T06071 609 5208 | eBay

The one i was shipped is
2000 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR 338 E5T06071 | eBay

I see 2000 diamante maf, did you get the proper one for your car a 2g maf.

The only one I know that is interchangeable is the 055 MAF (http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/366568-mas-442-055-a.html). I have one as a backup. By the auction though, it says it isn't compatible for our cars.

send it back, make them send you the right one

I did order the 609 but was shipped the 338.
I figured it would be the same because of the E5T #, so I assumed the seller sent a compatible sensor.
But the car has a rough idle, and wont rev past 4000 RPM.

I am going to send it back and try to order another 609, hopefully I will get it this time.

Once I receive it I will follow up to this thread to let everyone know if that solved it.

Sounds like you got a maf for a non turbo.

Problem seems to be solved. I have finally received the proper model number and the car is running like it should.
That should be enough to clear up the issue that the 338 and 609 are not interchangeable.
