vivalavolvo Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 When i was having running issues, i bought a cheap chinabay MAF. Well my issue wasn't the MAF but it did cause some other issues later on. The MAF i bought was about $60 on eBay, and it caused 2 instances of it tripping the MIL for lean condition. Since i still had the Bosch OE MAF, i went ahead and tossed it back in. WOW is what i said during the first drive lol. It really made a big difference in driveability and power. Lesson learned, old Bosch is better then new junk. I bought it because i was not 100% sure that was the issue, and the whole being laid off bit too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keaton85 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Must be hit or miss, as Ive done that cheap-o MAF sensor on a 99 without a single issue. Ran great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalavolvo Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 It seemed fine at first, i got it a few months ago, but yeah a lot of cheap stuff is hit and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've never seen a non Bosch MAF last for any amount of time. Or it causes more issues than the old one did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolvolution09 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Im using Rich Porter Tech MA119 for two years now with no issues, and i paid around $80 for it on ebay. Maybe its just luck for me. Probably gonna crap out on me tomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
