Hi,
My repair shop is quoting me $126 for replacing the mass airflow sensor on my 2000 Corolla (I did clean it before sending it to the shop and found that cleaning did not help the cold-engine hesitation problem.). Does that sound normal? I find it difficult to understand that such a small sensor costs that much.
Does anyone know a good source for an aftermarket or OEM?
Thanks.
Check online for that part - $126 sounds like retail list price. Some places charge even more for that component. Don't let the size fool you, that is a critical component for engine operation are is fairly robust. Because of that - it will cost a lot more than it would appear. Online, should be able to find one of those for around $60-$70.
Try www.1sttoyotaparts.com or www.rockauto.com - others have used those places with good luck and the prices are reasonable.
Many thanks.
