Thanks for all that. There are good reasons to go OEM, despite the ridiculous price. I may well follow your leads, which I greatly appreciate.
Maybe, but history of the part is unknown, and this is a pretty cheap part. I'll save salvage for other parts.
Yeah, fair. Full disclosure, there was a cheaper one on Amazon I steered away from. So it's definitely justified to buy a cheap part that fails...
Right, just a Wheatstone bridge, plus an intake air temperature sensor, right? So point of failure could be the heated wire or the intake sensor...
I thoroughly cleaned the hidden wires. I was thinking of going it again to be sure, but now wanting to make sure it's reliable and low drama for...
My 2008 Prius with 173,000 miles needs a new MAF sensor. The check engine light has been coming on sporadically for a couple of months. I cleaned...
Hi Matt, I can't answer all your questions, but I replaced the actuator on my wife's 2008 2 yrs ago. I need to do the same on my 2010, and have...
This happened to my '08 a year ago. The part cost $1300, and I found a local guy that would put it in for $800. I am fortunate to be mechanically...
Yup, precisely what happened. They should have blown out the crud before opening the filter housing.
I completely agree. They seem like honorable folks, and I will let them know what happened.
[ATTACH] OK, problem solved! My theory about critter debris turned out to be the right answer. I pulled the MAF sensor and peered into the...
Yes, so I've learned. I'll reply more fully below.
Sorry if I wasn't clear--the debris was in the engine air filter. Just a coupled oak tree pollen dispersers, whatever they're called. In my view...
Sorry, I meant MAF sensor and MFC (Mass Flow Controller, used in semiconductor process tools) came out. :confused: When my wife picked me up we...
Eh sorry, my engineering roots poking through. MFC is "mass flow controller". I meant MAF sensor, of course.
OK, I know there are a lot of threads regarding P3190. At the risk of overlapping similar previous posts, here's my story: I took my wife's 2008...
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Your explanation seems quite reasonable. I don’t have an iridium plug to compare, but I’m assuming the platinum...
Off topic, but I also have a gen 3 with oil loss issues…about 1 qt/500 mi. One dealer unhelpfully suggested rebuilding the engine, but was...
Wow, that’s cool info. How to pull that from the computer? I have a gen 3 also, with other issues (mostly oil loss), and would love to get...
Thanks for the perspective. Yes, the platinum plugs are from Rock Auto, so I’m confident they’re genuine. Some folks on this site are adamant that...
