p0100 problem
My car did this, I replaced the MAF and it was still there. The car was sputtering and not driving very good either. The harness that runs down by the pass side header had gotten too close to the header and melted. I pulled the harness out, extended every wire, and ran the harness down the back side of the motor to keep it away from the header. Fixed the MAF problem, and I no longer have to worry about that harness burning on the header again.
Is your car still running alright, or is it sputtering?

maf and pigtail both replaced...light still comes on...and after i clear the code it comes right back on within a second of it being cleared...any other ideas? i check some of the wiring real quick and it doesnt look like any of the wires got melted
Is it still running crappy? Do you have the MAF facing the correct way? It sounds stupid, but it would cause issues if it is not facing the correct way. Other than that, I am out of ideas. My buddies 97 was not running good at all, was backfiring horribly, and throwing a P0100. Turned out he had some crossed wires after installing his last opti, we fixed that and the code went away. I think that was just a coincidence though.
That is the same one that blew on my car. I believe there is a number of things that can cause it to blow, but im not sure what they are, other than the wires in that harness shorting out by the passenger side header.
