air flow sensor

If they made a bad diagnosis , stop pay on your ck , or dispute the bill with your credit card co. Some are ripoffs, some are very fare, you just learned of one to stay away from

You could have bought the obd2 code reader for a hundred and read it yourself. Toyota wants almost 300 bucks for the AF sensor, they have many in stock, and it's a huge profit source for them. You can get a Bosch for somewhere between 69 and 129 bucks. It's that spark plug looking thing stuck in the exhaust manifold, staring right at you. A 10 minute fix.

That "spark plug looking thing" in the exhaust manifold is the Oxygen Sensor. Sounds like his problem was with the mass airflow sensor - a different part. If there are any other Toyota dealers nearby, you could check prices there, too. Sometimes they vary significantly. IIRC, the labor to change the front struts on my Camry was around $120 less at a dealer in the next city.

Mike: If you (a) read the TITLE of this thread and (b) note that the poster was told there "dust" on the sensor ... then you would know the discussion was NOT about the Air Fuel sensor located just after the catalyst (not be be confused with the O2 sensor located between the engine and the catalyst). The air mass (or air flow) sensor is located between the air filter housing and the throttle body and is VERY sensitive to dust accumulations PARTICULARLY where the owner has foolishly substituted an oil bath (K/N or UniFilter) filter element.

So Phillip K&N are not good ?

That matter has been discussed at length with particular attention paid to hot wire air mass sensors.

thanks for your complete assawnser. its worth Zero. ass.

Oh they do not, its between 120-150, less than half of your exaggerated figure!

LOL, Philip, did someone piss in his Wheaties® this morning? :-D

No mdt you pissed in your own

Ransley's response is what one would expect from a person who is used to being given everything and then one day.... is told to go find something for himself. I pulled a "Huw" and a "MikeHunt" on him. LOL

Wow, that was quick!

Dogs have "that" kind of bladder control. ;-)

depends what country you are in!
