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

[Johnsho92]

Ok Kirk,  Thanks.. :)

I'll try that out..

I have replaced the T-stat with a brand new one from
ford, right part number too.  I also tried using the
old 55mm MAF/sensor and No chip, but not long enougb
to determine gas mileage, but will try it now..    So
far, I know it's Much Smoother with the stock setup as
well as the 73mm Pro... one I have which requires no
LPM, but don't like using it since there's so much bad
rep about it...   

I'll check..  I have XJ2 as my computer, I have that
same computer and LPM on my other two SHOs at home. 
I'll swap and see.. ;)  Thanks a lot for the
recommendations..   

-John
