Getting the TA ready for spring and before I stored it, I thought I placed the MAF in a safe place (winter came between my build) but I checked the MAF wires and they are bent. Is it still good if I bend them back?

I did that once and luckily it didn't bust it off of the post. I bent it back. I did some research and just Google how to test the diodes. Have to get a multi meter and set it to the diode test setting and read what the meter says. Should be "x" number on one side of the diode and when you switch the leads, should read open. I have a cheapo tester so I couldn't get the numbers like I should have. Ended up throwing on the truck and running it and seeing if the truck ran right. I tested 3 different mafs and couldn't get the numbers I should have.


Here is a link to those test along with a description of diode testing:
