K so i replaced my MAF at like 75000 miles. Cuz it went bad.... obviously. So i bought a new one of ECS and installed it. Car ran great. No problems. Until... this morning ( OH and this is only 5000 miles later) Went to start up the car, and it just started freaking out. Engine barely turning over and being really clunky. So i popped the hood and unplugged the MAF and the car kicked back up and ran fine. So.... the NEW MAF lasted 5k miles before dyin. Is there anything that could cause a MAF to die suddenly and so soon? I check warrenty with ECS and they dont offer full warrenties with any electrical product. So that pretty much sucks

 

crazy mine is starting to act up a lil bit also
im wonding if mine is bad also

 

maybe some oil from your intake filter? Or maybe just a bad product. when you unplug the MAF, do you get a CEL?

 

my cell came back on after 3 weeks
but the car runs good for the most part.
ill try unplugging it also.

 

see if cleaning it restores the function. maf cleaner is ubiquitous and cheap.

 

Yea i have a CEL on when i unplug it. And its on normally too

 

Get MAF cleaner, and also contact ECS, my underwear lasts longer than 5k

 

Are you using an oilled air filter?

 

idk, im using a cheap one from autozone, i think i will get another filter for modshack cuz when i had that one i didn't throw any cells lol
