Thanks again. If only I would have not bough an open air cone filter and stuff...this would have never happend. Next time i'll think before I mess with things

lol. I figure one out of a 1995 - 1997 2.2l will be fine.

well, I cleaned it with alcohol, and then dripped some water after it was messing up in hopes the alcohol was on it.


I dunno...paid today...so late next week.


Also, will one off a auto trans. be the same as on a manual? I don't think it'd matter, but I just want to make sure.

Yeah...damn it. I rinsed it...let it dry...etc.


Soooo...I guess i'm gonna pay the $85 and go to the junkyard and get one tomorrow. And with the one I bought on eBay...well...heh...prob. sell it on eBay again...I dunno. Maybe keep it as a spare or something.


Thanks for the help and whatnot.

I cleaned the sensor with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and then took it for a drive...it runs really bad now. When I just push on the accelerater it will jerk and whatnot, but when I floor it it dosnt do that.

I pulled the batter cable to reset the ECU and then i'll let it idle for like 5 minutes ...

yeah...it hardens into the stuff the air filter box is made of...but it can be used as PVC glue

Could the ABS cement I used to connect it to the box have something to do? Like the fumes from it might have messed up the MAF?

Won that auction...I hope I can get the bolts that connect it to the air box, too


I wanna get it before next weekend...i'm gonna drive like 400 miles so i'd like to get better gas mileage...if not...i'll clean my current one.


Thanks for all your help folks!

Junkyard wanted $85 for the sensor...I laughed at them and came home and bid on that one that is on ebay. Yeah, the numbers on my current one match.

So...I remove the screen thing on the tube...and the sensor is in there?

Ok, will the one in that auction work for a EJ22 in an 96 OBW? Also, how would I clean it? Alcohol and a Q-tip?

yeah, the 4 corners the bolts go through is what I broke off.

So I could fit the open air filter on there.

Yep...I reset the ECU. There is a junkyard around here with some Legacy and Imprezas. Some are older 1.8l ones, and some are newer 2.5l ones...and I think a few 2.2l. I hope one has the MAF sensor and tube from the engine on it still, and in good ...

I took off my air filter box and put a cone filter on. I didn't like the loss in power at low RPMs so I put the old box back on...but I had to snap off the little wing things that you put up to the box and put the bolts in. Now, instead of getting 24MPG avg...i'm getting 18.


I used ABS cement to ...

Fill the sucker up really full...mine didnt even work...I filled it to the very top...didnt give me a problem after that.

When it has specs for max HP and such it says like 135hp @ 6000 RPMs...so when you get the RPMs up is when you get the most power. I notice that above 3000RPM is when I get most of my power.
