non turbo maf?

[Jay Zarcadius]

MAF shot craps, got a junkyard one, it was worse that the original, right now i'm running one off the 1.8l motor and i'm getting better results, but it still isn't running right. is there a solution to this problem? maft is out because it's made to plug into turbo 7-pin connector. can't buy a new maf around here, no parts store can get one, and i couldn't afford their prices if they could anyway. can anyone point me in the right direction?

unfortunately thats a turbo maf. the turbo maf have a 7-pin connector and the non turbo motor that you and i have has a 6-pin. thats the problem i've been running into all over. all the aftermafket pieces i find are made to plug into the turbo wiring harness, like the maft, and the adapters to make a 2g maf fit a 1g. leaving us non turbo drivers out in the cold on ways to resolve this situation.

Hit the junkyard and find another one. You sure you dont have another issue. Its kind of rare to have two bad mafs in front of you. I have sold over 50 2g mafs on ebay and only one has ever been bad.

well its only part that was bad. intake air temp sensor, which is built into the whole unit. ran the code and it came back with "poor drivability in cold weather" which hit the nail on the head for me. the one in the car now is in good shape, but its for the other engine, has smaller inlet ports, and i can tell it just isn't quite right.
