The mass air flow sensor on my truck is bad and due to the fact that the cheapest one that I could find is about $250 I am going junkyard searching for them. I went to always used auto parts website to look to see if they had one and I put in the year make and model of my truck and one for a 94 Talon 1.8L came up. I was wondering is that compatible with my truck or not. If not does anyone know where I could pick one up for cheap? Thanks in advance!
I just googled engine bay pictures and I found this although this is a 4g63 but the air box and all looks to be the same

Found a picture of a 1.8. It looks like it will be the same. I venture its worth the trip to the junkyard. When I get it and if it indeed does work I'll let yall know then I shall update the parts interchange info on our wiki

This looks like my Laser bay before "the change". lolQuote:

On the flip side, sometimes the joy is in the hunt. So, it just depends on what you want to do... :-)
If I get any info that's more concrete for what you're looking for, I'll let you know.
Good Luck!
Thanks man. I did my browsing online (the pickandpull and alwaysusedauto websites) but before I go there I will give what you were talking about a looksee. Again I do appreciate the help. When I saw that picture I thought of your car as well haha
I called pick and pull and they have a parts interchange thing where they tell what all will work for my truck. Laser, Talon, Gallant, Colt, and I'm missing one other car from 89-95 =D
Just because they look the same does not mean they flow the same or read the same.
Any luck finding your part yet? (I might take a trip to the yard soon too. Have to find some random parts for the Laser. (Any maybe a steering wheel for Max.) If you haven't gone yet, we might be able to meet up.Quote:

Oh yeah, I forgot about Oceana Salvage. If it's a part that doesn't cost much to ship, you can check car-part.com for treasure. (in the future I mean) glad you found your MAF. How's it running now?
It did improve a good deal but she is still not at 100%. Once it warms up it tends to be fine but it still has the cold issue (and an exhaust leak from hell). The weld came undone on my exhaust where I had it done. This is the second time that has happened so I believe I am going to redo my exhaust (which is a shame I love where it was/is). If you still want to meet up I won't mind venturing to some junkyards again.
That's cool. If the weather is good, maybe we can go later today (Sunday) after I get out of church. I'll PM you.
What motor do you have in yours? What's your goal for the build? When you redo your exhaust, you DO plan to get a DG Header right?
My truck is a 2.4, I want to build it to become a drift truck =). Something kinda similar to this (http://thedrifttruck.com/)
Yeah. I know about that badass truck. I wrote about it in this blog I used to have. I was glad to see someone do such a good job with our truck AND compete well with it on the national stage.
So you're going to do a turbo swap?
I know how you feel about your diamonds and you proabaly won't like my idea but, what I would like to do when I get the funds is to find/fabricate a way to put a RB26DETT in it. MONSTER. My plans aren't set in stone though. I have contemplated other swaps like a rotary swap, but I am not fully sure exactly I want yet.
Clearly you want some power! It's cool, I'm a bit unique to be so die-hard on the brand, but I'm just like that. (At least you want to put an import motor in it instead of SBC!) Max would be a total Giant-Killer Sleeper with the RB OR Rotary motor in it. Good luck!
i know its off subject but does any one know if his hood on the drift truck is a one off or if it a store piece i love the loof it gives the truck and its not over killQuote:
