MAF Interchangeability

[Buick Beginner]

Well guys, I guess I goofed my MAF Sensor up, does anyone know what the years and models are that will work on an 87 GN. They all look the same but I know they've got to be different in some ways. Thanks - BB

Beyond 86/87 GN's there's no interchangability.

Rats - This situation is getting worse

So it's 86-87 GN only, the standard 3.8 is different? - BB

Alt. MAF

I know a lot of people like the translator set up, but if you don't want to pay for that, poston has the TOMCO units 95$! I have one and bottom line, it WORKS! I know the translator's probably better (300+$, it should be) but this will get you by. 11.47 with it, and pretty cheap to boot!

The normally aspirated 3.8s don't use anywhere near the air of a turbo'd car. While they use the same ecms in some years the MAF is different.

Just for grins, I just look at some N/A code, and the MAFs areas are very different.
