This is my first post to what seems like a pretty good dub board.  Keep up the good work!

Here's the purpose for my post today (and I'll make a very long and $$$ story short and too the point):

Please take a look at the harness plug at the MAF.  If your's looks like this, it probably is NOT the MAF, but the very sensitive connectors.  See pic:
MAF harness connector

This deformation of these female connectors WILL cause DTC indicating Signal Too Low.  Once I replaced this harness connector with new wires, the MAF I was about to replace worked again.

So, it pays to take a quick look because a new MAF is anywhere from $150 - $200.  Price of new plug, connector wires and splices - $60.00 from the dealer.

the only thing I can figure is due to the very small and tight spec's these connectors have, any deviation at all from tolerance with throw a MIL.
