Exclamation Help With MAF O Ring

The brown bulb you see is NOT the MAF, just the temp sensor - spray up into the plastic body, the tiny wires up there are the actual air flow sensor, only a tiny proportion of the air goes over it, and the computer works out the flow.

Ok I took off the MAF and cleaned it. Went to put it back on and seen the O ring sitting in my K&N V.2 Intake. I got it out with a long screwdriver and my finger. But its broke in 1/2

So should I put it back? or get a new one?
If I need a new one where can I get one?
What happends if I dont replace it?
WELP!!!

Well like StealthTL said; "Dont damage the little o ring"

So now what?

Thanks a bunch!

are you talking about the O ring that seals the MAF to the Tube ?

if yes then, just replace it with a new one, its there to seal dirt from going into the intake (vacuum leak)

Is this the one u talking about ?

if yes. the part number is ZL01-13-214, its not a cheap part consider its just a god damn rubber ring, but u gotta pay to play

no need to get a genuine Mazda one - any place that sells o rings should have something that will fit ....
