DTC 16486 - MAF sensor signal too low - where's the cheapest place to get a MAF sensor?
Thanks in advance... the DTC i got was:
16486 - MAF Sensor
G70 - signal too low 35-00
Any ideas, besides changing the MAF? A how-to on cleaning the MAF?

the plug looked okay - checking engine load (more)
display group 2, field 4 shows 0.33 g/s mass air flow... corrective action recommended is to check intake air system for leaks (false air) - i imagine there could be a loose clamp somewhere? I'm going to re-check and tighten everything...
Where can I pick up some engine leak detector spray? What harm am i doing to the car driving it with the bad MAF? Thanks... any other advice??

more...
after taking a second look, the air intake plenum had pushed the cone filter off the u-tubing. i re-attached the cone filter, cleared DTC's but the condition returned - after taking it out for a spin, the air flow g/s fluctuated between say .17 and .33. Ugh. Do I need to clean the MAF? Or do I need a new one entirely...

Could be a leak but I'd bet on the plug...
I would remove the plug and grommet and re-install them. Clear the DTC and see if it some back.
Your not doing harm to DBW cars because of the MAP sensor. Non-DBW's don't have a MAP sensor and run like *** when their MAF's die.
