The original was replaced with a used OEM one off Ebay. I cleaned it before I replaced it. The original one's element, where I see the air pass through, had actually "popped" in half at the metal wire that holds it in place. This is why I still feel like there is some electrical short etc... It has not ever had a "reman" or "new" MAF put back in. I think, from what I've seen on computer scans, that its running right. It seems to move up and down with the g/s (measurement) as it should.
What is very clear to me though is that while I have the computer scanner plugged in, if I activate various switches in the cabin (headlights, cruise control, actuating the accelerator pedal, etc.. anything a/c etc..) that the computer software resets in error. I'm no engineer, and probably should've been, but wouldn't this indicate an electrical issue? (Note: I trust my computer and interface hardware is all working fine when I'm connected to the van's OBD connector)
