So my new to me 98 E300 started throwing a maf code and cutting boost occasionally (about 1 out of 5 times I drive it). It then restores boost on next start up and the CEL goes away a few days later just to come back again a day or two after that. By the way my scanner shows the sensor responding as it should when I plot the live data feed although I'm not sure the range is correct. Its only getting 28 mpg, mostly freeway and surges at partial throttle only when I have boost so something is not correct. Anyway I pulled the MAF to clean it and noticed the resistor on the side is completely missing (hopefully not sucked through the engine) . Anyone know what the resistor value is supposed to be? Figured its worth a shot before replacing the sensor since I know it at least responds to changes in airflow....
Thanks
