calebz Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 IIRC, only the first couple of years of legacies (90-91 or 92) utilized a MAF sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Mass Air Flow sensor? It wasn't just the first ones...it is in all. It is what connects to the box the holds the air filter. I got one on eBay for $10, and one at a junkyard for $80. It really killed my gas mileage when mine died. A used one would work fine, if you can find one at a good price. Mine came off a older EJ22 Legacy...so they outta all be about the same. MAF are up until 1999. 2000+ used MAP.

TheBrian Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I think my car (California '96 Legacy) has both. Is that redundant? I can see a MAF sensor right after the air filter. I'm fairly certain the thing bolted down right behind the air filter box, with the vacuum line and a wire harness attached to it, is a MAP sensor.

frag Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I got one on eBay for $10, and one at a junkyard for $80. It really killed my gas mileage when mine died. Did you have other symptoms? T.I.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Did you have other symptoms? T.I.A. Well, it was my fault it died. I put an open air intake on it, and it sucked a lot of dust in, so I was cleaning the MAF with alcohol and a Q-TIP and it ran like crap and gas mileage was like 12 MPG.
