Mass Air Flow Sensor weirdness

[ybk at dongames.net]

Well, I did apply 22A - looks like nothing changed. It may start normally and then signal is lost while driving. Sometimes I park the car while everything is fine just to find out that several hours later there is no MAF signal. Or other way around.

So far symptoms look like there is a crack and temperature related expansion/contraction plus mechanical force of touching connector affect the contact. Again, this is only a symptom.
I wonder if worth trying to get another MAF or disassemble mine and clean/examine all wires.

Eugene.

Connections seems clean, if I take connector out and put it back the normal operation restores in most of the time but them either after several hours (or days) on a parking lot or while driving ECU looses MAF again. Visually, wires seems fine. If anyone remembers how to deal with it please advise.
