Default Maf?

Have an 89 that keeps surging I changed the MAF 4 times,and each time it corrects the problem for awhile.Around 30 to 50 miles,then the surging starts
No engine light and no codes Any ideas as to why this happens or what to look for?

What led you to replacing the MAF 4 times? do you have the FSMs?
typically if there is a problem in the MAF circuit it will set a code..33,34 or 36. Not saying a bad MAF will always throw a code, but it seems most likely your problem is else where. Need a little more information to help isolate the problem. What diagnostics have you done so far?

If youre going to just replace things, then you should be replacing the MAF relays. Both behind the battery on the firewall.

If they are bad, they'll kill a new MAF.
