Default MAF Sensor question.....

Hello everyone, I am somewhat new here & would appreciate some input on somthing that happend to me last weekend:

For the second time, the MAF sensor went out on me. After the tech at the dealer took a look at it, I recieved a call telling me they would not replace it because the screen was missing. I went down to the dealership & showed them the GM invoice from the first time she went in for this & they, very quickly, agreed to fix it.

My question is: assuming that the MAF sensor that was installed from the first problem was fine, how can the screen disapear? & where would it go?

I plan on going back to the dealer to pose this question to them, but I thought I would get some input from you fine folks first.

Thanks, Chappy.

The screen is pretty muched fixed so either the tech put in an aftermarket one or instead of giving you a new one, he might have removed the screen thinking that it was the cause of the initial problem. That's just my guess.

That would be my guess, but if the MAF table is not reprogrammed for it the A/F mixture and timing would be off. Those guys are up to something...
