Hello I had posted a message about my 97 Marquis having a cold stall when put in gear. The problem was solved by putting in an O.E. Mass air flow sensor. The Duralast just wasn't right for the car. So always use O.E. equipment on critical components such as this. Thanks for the reponses.

Also why I hoard functional OE parts, I haven't had too many good experiences with aftermarket stuff.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

People don't realize that those aftermarket units flow completely different than the OEM. It will be good enough, but the computer will be compensating for it. It's always better for sensors like that to be OEM.Originally posted by mgm6397 View PostComment

Good news and x4 on good sharing. This is good info for everyone. We are finding more and more sensors that just seem to work better when OEM.

how much is having your car run correctly worth to you ? I'm inherently cheap too but at some point you have to bend over and take it. Or visit a junkyard for a good used one. MAF sensors don't go bad that often.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
