    What made you decide to replace the MAF sensor to begin with?
    Did you buy your new MAF at Autozone (I noticed that's where you had you codes read).
    I would strongly suggest buying the MAF from toyota.
    I just replaced mine on my 2002 2.7/5speed and it cost me $114.
    My truck had the same issues you were having. It would fire right up and stall after a few seconds. If I feathered the gas for a second or two it would run fine untill I shut it off.
    Mine was an easy fix for $114.

    4 run, 2 don't
    If he hasn't gotten his truck started 7 years later then I doubt your response would help any.

    A member poster on 5/3/23 and I answered the same day with what i believe to be relevant information on how to fix his truck.
    I understand this is an old thread, but people are still posting that they have similar problems.

    I actually had a call out to a stranger with the same problem, it was a missing air tube on the intake hose that was missing. You cant see it because it hangs and isnt easily spotted.

    Diagnosed his miserable problem in 1 minute lol.

    I'm not sure obout the O.P.
    We also had 2 other members who recently posted in this thread stating that they were experiencing the same problem.
    Should we not try to help them?
    It's not like I responded to a 7 year old post out of the blue.
    A member went on this thread seeking advice, and I responded the same day trying to help out.
