[Shotimes] 80mm MAF failure, ~$price? (HELP)

[Johnsho92]

Well,   

I meant the Whole UNIT, the sensor along with the
80mm-diameter MAF.   

Explain a failing MAF? Hmmm, don't know what would
cause the MAF to Fail or it's symptoms, but I do know
that it's MAF related.  I beleive it's the way the LPM
and Computer(EEC-V) interprets the MAF-Sensor
readings.  I also think it's realted to the Rich side.
 My engine won't run HOT, or slightly cooler than
usual, I'm also getting 14 mpg.  

So, I'm not sure, What's a failing MAF or MAF sensor
but I have isolated it to the MAF general-area..   

PLEASE HELP. :)  thanks.

-John
