I did have a stalling problem before and I bought a used maf from good running car with 125k. I know the guy and it was his personal car he parted out. After maf replacement my car never stalled once. Maybe his maf was not good?
I think the 'test' showed that the MAF is bad since it goes to the 10% area unless it's contaminated and that contamination can't be removed.

Is it a "hot-film" type vs "hot-wire"?? In trying to clean them, the H/W MAF clean up better than the H/F MAF. My tech has tried a number of them with no success.

Red on pin 3; Black on Pin 2.
