He guys I am the guy who just finished installing the Saturn Motor in my 900 SE V6 and I am getting these codes coming up and the car seems to be running alittle rough out of first and second gear( ie lack of power, alittle hestitation) I was wandering if it is normal for a MAf code to appear with a O2 Sensor code could the MAF be causing the O2 sensor, and is it common for the MAF to go out at around 100K?, all help would be great!!

My MAF went out at about 70k miles on my 9-3 4cyl turbo. The symptoms were hesitation and overboosting, and it just ran kinda crummy. It ran like this for months before ever throwing a bad MAF CEL. I have read that the silicone grease on some aftermarket filters can get stuck on the MAF sensor wires and foul them up. A lot of people say thats a load of crap though. Mine did not look any different, but replacing it was like night and Day.

That said. A V6 NA to me is like some sort of wildebeast or fish to me and I have no idea if performance will be much different than a turbo with a bad MAF.

Just sharing.
