MAF Sensor Rubber Ring

Hey guys, is that rubber ring that seals the MAF sensor and the intake pipe supposed to be held snugly at the sensor. Was cleaning mine and find that its very loose, almost will fall out straight.

Can I use the kind that I could get at hardware store as alternative?

^....not sure that thread will exactly answer what your question was, but it might help.
I can't tell from your post if this is an issue with the screw holes being slightly stripped leading to you issue or not?

Yeah...was a little info but not much.
I think the important thing is we know how sensitive the MAF is, so any potential leak isn't good.

Yikes!


Off to autozone or somewhere for you to get as close as an O-ring as you can. The part number was in that other 2nd thread if you wanna go that route and use the one you might pick up as a temp?
