I have a stupid code, basically if I can figure out how, I can get away with only doing the IAT, and not the MAF.

I cleaned it. I will probably have to replace it. But hey, after 46k this is the first thing gone wrong.

They are like $150 for the whole MAF assembly.They are sensitive so disconnect the battery when you fiddle with it.

Thanks for your input. I finally broke down and called the dealer, there is no IAT. It is part of the MAF and no other way to do it.
