whats a good brand & price for a Mass Air Flow Sensor for an 87 Z28 TPI, cuz idk, i see prices from less that $200 all the way to $550

 

Before spending a boatload of money on a new maf try changing the relays on the firewall. Unless the maf itself has been physically damaged in some way, new relays will solve most maf problems.

 

ahh, 4 got about that stuff, lol, ill check tah tomorrow, if i cant find ne thing then its definatly gotta get replaced

 

I was about to replace my MAF sensor, but after reading this thread I replaced my relays first. Solved my problem and saved me some $$$.

Yeah be sure it really is the MAF....my D/A has two spares that did not correct the problem a TPS corrected.

 

its definatly the MAF, everything i checked had no different affect, also i just replaced the fuel filter today, now i just need the MAf, and to clean the brakes so they dont seize up on me

 

is Granatelli a good brand, or is there a better one out there?

 

get a delco AKA boush off ebay!

 

Connect a voltmeter to the MAF output with everything connected and hte engien idlng. The MAF should generate about an 800mV signal. If so, the MAF is probably functioning correctly.

What diagnosis/problems/error codes lead you to believe the MAF is a problem?

 

well i took it out, n the wies look fried, looks like it shorted somewhere or something

 

I think you can buy a new splice in harness connector from napa or something

 

^^cohan, Vader is right on target when asking you what would cause you to think that there is a MAF malfunction. Any error codes? Any surging? What are the symptoms? The wiring on just about every connector on my 86's original harness looks fried as well, but it doesn't automatically mean that the sensors are shot along with it...

 

^^jamon8, you're right. He can re-use the original harness' connector, while replacing the terminals, along with some additional wiring, that can be purchased either in NAPA, Pep Boys, and even Home Depot...

 

im checkin napa as we speak, n now im pretty sure its just the terminals, once, i get it ill let u know how it goes, accoriding to my uncle,(cuz it was his car up until last yr, he stopped driving it like 8 yrs ago) he said it needed a new one, but i didnt think so i thought it was just the fuel filter, so i replaced that n it seemed to run better but it still idles just as bad so thats when i took it out to look at it n it loked in bad condition
