[s-cars] MAF needed?, MAF question

[Theodore Chen]

so do the MAFs always die by blowing their electronics?  the MAF in
my car died a couple of years ago.  the hot wire seems to be fine.  i
think it's the electronics that are blown.  if somebody else has
a dead MAF due to a contaminated hot wire (like an inveterate K&N oiler),
it might be possible to cannibalize the electronics from it and transplant
it into my dead MAF.  i'll happily donate it to anybody who wants to
try.
