It could be anything flagging that code..... don't limit it to the MAF itself...

First step is to check for air leaks - do a vacc test ...

doubt its maf - maf failures are rare on v6. Its normally another problem (airleak, vac leak, stuck egr (not on yours), etc)

maybe check wiring to maf and connectors...? Too right re dealers. Youll fit in well here.  :y
