in all honosty, i would not cheap out on a mass air flow sensor.

ive seen quite a few vehicles with aftermarket maf sensors fail after just a year of having them. even in gm training class they told us thts one thing not to cheap out on.

Definitely stay with an OEM type MAF sensor. Don't try and run any aftermarket ones, they seem to all suck.

the GTO plastic MAS sounds good.

?1.what year GTO doe's this MAS come off? I'm thinking it has to be a early GTO w/ LS1 engine.

?2.where did you get it and what was the price please includ link.

?3. is addtionale tuning required or is this a direct replacement?

Thanks

Default why is car constantly rueining MAS

I really don't like to use cheap auto parts however

I was in a bind so I ended up purchasing the cardone MAS SES light dissapeared.
1st MAS lasted 50 miles then the same P0171-P0174-P0300 codes came back.

2nd MAS lasted 25 miles then the same P0171-P0174-P0300 codes came back.

3rd MAS lasted 15 miles then the same P0171-P0174-P0300 codes came back.

can't understend why

there is no vacunm or exhaust leak, good fuel preasure new fuel fliter, clean air fliter. I'm at a lose on what could be going on.
Thanks for any advice

Kinda surprised no one has PM'd you with a stocker for sale. I picked up an extra one, low mileage, off here for this exact reason.

"Z06" or 85mm truck MAF (same thing) WILL require tuning.
