air filter
hi i installed an aftermarket cone filtere to my car but after a while my car ran sluggish so i put standard air filter back on, still was sluggish but sourced my MAF sensor was done, taking in consideration my cars 17 yeas old i replaced it with a new sensor and it runs like a dream. if i put the cone filter back on is there a possibility it will break my new sensor? or did it break coincidentally by its ae?

Re: air filter
Could have been a coincidence, unless the cone was letting too much debris by causing the issue.

Re: air filter
Was the cone filter an oiled filter design? Oiled filters regularly leave deposits of oil on MAF sensors. If it happens again spray the MAF with MAF cleaner
