Thats a rip off. It is easy to change and about a 10 minute job. Should be located on the top of the throttle body. Black component about 2 x 3 inches with two torx safety screws holding it on and one electrical plug. Cost ranging from $35 used to $135.00 new.

BTW - If your 99 GT was made late in production into the 2000 model year, it could have the MAF sensor located at the input of the throttle body and air cleaner input hose.

Good luck!

yea i am definately going to do it myself, it's worth it to have it towed back to my house, they wanted 210 for the part and 180 in labor and i just got the part for $130 and the tow is $40

Thanks for the help
