Well, played around a little yesterday.  First installed the Hakka 1's I just
picked up, and then played around trying to figure out my emissions a bit.  Did
locate this little guy:

http://www.clarity.net/~paul/audi/temp/MAF/

But have no idea what it does.  Checked out the O2 sensor.  Hooked up, engine
hot and running, signal would float between .3 and .7 ohms.  Unplugged it would
hang out right around .03 ohms.  With the O2 sensor unplugged, would get a
reading of .454 ohms from the computer.  That I can't figure out.

Also, watching the O2 sensor, turning that little pot on the MAF would have no
effect on the reading, floated between .3 and .7.

<sigh>
