MAF Rebuilt or New?
Well I have changed out the MAF burn off and power relay and still get a 36 code. Looks like the MAF sensor is gone. There are two choices
new or rebuilt. I am leaning toward buying the rebuilt as it is cheaper
and it comes with a one year warranty. The new ones come without any. Which means if it does not work it is yours anyway. Ouch! 
Anyone purchased a rebuilt MAF and what experiences have you had? Also what is the down side to not replacing the MAF? The car runs fine now so I think this must be a long-term problem if not replaced. Buy the way this is 87.

You can buy nice used ones on eBay for about $50+( depending on the competition).
Redneck43 is a vendor on eBay that is also a CF member. I have done several good transactions with him.

You can score a good used one pretty cheap. I got one for $35 shipped to my door. I'll check around, I think I may have one for you.
