As above my scooby went to garage today local mechanic really good mechanic, but works for ford so the machine could only read that my lamda sensors fine but couldn't tell weather maf sensor is, so i presume it the maf sensor.

I think the best thing today is take it to scooby garage to get sorted but i told want them rippin me off so were's the best place or cheapest to get sensor?, rememberibg that it is an import, weather or not that makes a difference i don't know? cheers for any comments erm ow yer the reason i know the sensors out is that its that the revs drop and it sum times cuts out

If you know another owner maybe worth swapping with there's to check

will need to maybe do a ecu reset aswell

If it were a UK model, I'd visit the dealer - they seem to be the cheapest place. But, seeing as you've got an import, try 1stChoice.co.uk. A touch more expensive than the dealer (I think I was quoted £90-odd plus delivery).

Don't be tempted by a used part from a breaker

Nice car mate..

What's the problem with the car for you to think it's the MAF?

UK cars you can usually just replace the element but older imports you have to replace the whole box that they come in.I seen one on EBay but as said your taking a gamble.

I made the mistake of buying a used one - £100 wasted!

Xtreme Scoobies will get you one for a good price.

Nice car

my99> are about 70-80 of a dealer

pre my99 you have to buy the whole unit and are a few hundred iirc

Thats what I was unsure of at first.
My95 sti had a green label maf, & all the pre96 UK car mafs I had seen had orange labels.
After phoning various specialist I was told that they were different for uk to jap, then told the opposite. Plus the prices varied a lot, seem to be more for the jap version?
However in the end I ordered a maf from a friendly main dealer using the part no. from my old maf. When it arrived it had the green label on it?

is confusing.. was told that my99 sti would be same as uk my99 turbo so will probably get mine from dealer

I got mine from Xtreme - just under £300 if I remember correctly - although I believe that's a good price for a Bugeye (Plus it's a JDM).

I think only Subaru supply them, so no cheap alternatives.

As for JDM and UK cars being the same - my JDM seems to be completely different to anything either JDM or UK.
