I have checked this item on the courtesyparts...it shows the whole assembly.

Yes the whole assembly (MAF screen, outer plastic tube, & the actual sensor). The note I got in mine says it requires special programming though....

I checked my MAF, it does have the security torx in it so I need to get the special tool. HF has it for $7.99 for a 100 pc set. Now that's a deal.

Will definitely do this this weekend. Will also disconnect battery for the re-learn. Keeping fingers crossed that no CEL shows up after.

Where is the OBDII connector for the 2000 MAX?

Under the steering column, slightly left off it

Thanks. How much is a CRC MAF Cleaner?

Checked it out, $7 tops. Lots of reviews on the net. Good stuff.

I just received new MAF but has the Thermister. My old one did not have this, so can I use this one with the Thermister or do I need to remove it? I have read through this topic several times and did many searched and the only thing I have found is when using a 2k or 2k1 with a 2k2 or 2k3. Mine is a 2k '00 5th not a 5.5 model. Thanks in advanced.

why would you buy the expensive one when you can just use a cheaper one?

Great write. I was seeking that performance me 2k maxima had on my 2k2 maxima and this seems to have given my 2k2 maxima that performance I was looking for.

Ordered off eBay ($64.00) said it was for 2k and was not aware at the time that there were different ones for 2k until I received it. I went ahead and installed it and the power is back but now it will die every now and while idling.our

Thanks for your original post wish I would have found this first.

Nice job. I ended up having to replace the MAF because the cleaning did not work. I wish I would have had a thorough procedure like the one you posted. Thanks!
