Do you know an approximate dollar amount? Can't be any worse than o2 sensors!
When I changed my MAF 2 years ago it cost me $270 CAD from the dealer.
Bill Jenkins has it listed as $180 USD.
Did a junkyard search found them for $40 - $150 USD.

I thought I needed a MAF once upon a time & priced one at the auto parts store for $68. The guy let me buy it, install it on my car & when it didn't solve my problem, he refunded my money. Problem was plugs in my case.
The install can be handled with common hand tools in about 15 minutes & no crawling around (unless you drop something & it lands under your car directly in the middle where you can't reach it - don't even ask).
To diagnose the MAF, could he just unplug it & let the internal fuel mapping program take over?
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
