Maf Woes

Hi guys, I've fallen victim to the fairly common problem caused by the typhoons positioning.

It's just the wire from the connector, but the connector itself doesn't look very 'openable' in order to fix it myself? Can I get just the connector from toyota or am I looking at a whole new MAF :/. Also, what gauge wire should I repair with?

Thanks guys!

hi , mine did that too in exactly the same way. i ended up soldering mine back together.use some 5A speaker wire and extend the wires by about a 300mm and route them under the Typhoon rather that over.

Intredasting. So you can open up the plug? How did you get into it?

i think i pulled out the blue rubber bit then got my soldering iron in the hole and managed to join it to the other bit that snapped.someone on here told me how , the thread must be here somewhere.

You can buy a new connector (the bit that goes into the back of the black plug) from toyota and connect it to the old wire

That would be great if the parts desk was ever open at a time I could get there :/.
