yes ive done months of searching.
..so my car has been acting very weird for a while now.. a few months back my maf blew, i replaced it, about 1000 miles later it blew again.
there was a nice cut on the wire by the maf connector, so i spliced the wires, went to the dealer and picked up a new wiring harness, re-wired everything and im still pulling these codes. esp light and cel stay on at all times. i know if i change the maf out again its going to blow and i dont feel like spending 100$ every week for a new maf.

any ideas on what to do guys ?

What kind of intake filter are u running to protect that MAF?

[Staz]

running a carbonio

nobody ?

I'd try putting the intake back to stock and go from there.

Your Carbonio is fine, it's a dry filter.

So in this order? Your MAF Fried, you replaced it, it fried again, you replaced the wiring harness, but didn't replace the MAF again?

Bad wires will fry the MAF, once it's fried, you need a new one. Double check your wiring harness and replace the MAF once more.

EDIT: I'll add that all of your codes can be caused by a bad MAF.
