Mine's bad. How much should I expect to pay for a replacement?

From what I've heard somewhere around $100, maybe a little more.

There is a place online selling them for $15. See http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=20638

Thanks for posting that thread! I found it at AutoZone for $78. My service place was gonna charge $200. Looks easy enough to install myself too. The car drives fine with the cel on, and the codes indicate the maf as being the culprit. Maybe I'm getting worse gas milage, but otherwise it seems to be running fine.
