    Intermittent wipers…so far
    Is it ok to use a maf that’s not specifically for my truck as long as the wire plug fits? 02 2.4

    It could
    1. Read the air volume incorrectly
    2. short out because it's wired differently
    3. or you found a cheaper exact match toyota doesn't want us to know

    Nope fo get the one that is specifically for your truck. Unless you have access to the ECM to tune the MAF, it will throw codes.

    If fits(both mechanically/electrically)
    Shit
    Try it
    If weirdness/codes pop, shut her down
    You tried.

    this is a common/only option kinda thing in Cuba. I seriously doubt if any catastrophic dmg would occur….only a non start result
