Again and again. It's the MAF sensor. This is the 3rd time in 3 years. After looking at the fuel pump relay, ignition, TPS, IAC and all the other staff it turned out to be the MAF sensor. This time check engine light did not come out. And I did hit the MAF sensor in the beginning and nothing changed. Today I gave it another shot and tapped the sensor. And the engine stalled. One more time 60 bucks for the MAF !!!!!!!!1

 

Well, around here, Lappens does offer one with a lifetime warranty. BTW have you checked the MAF relays? If your burnoff relay is toast, it will keep the MAF in burnoff for longer, or constantly, and this could keep frying MAFs. I've had five f-bodies, and have only had to replace one MAF sensor in 11 years. I've found that they usually do not go bad as much as people make them out to be.

Thanks Red Devil. I'll check the relay first.

 

I believe the Wells MAF comes with a lifetime warrenty.
