I have a Lindsey racing air mass kit.
I'm pretty sure the air meter crapped out because the car only idles with it disconnected.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement? It looks like a Hitachi unit from a Mitsubishi....

Just update it do a vitesse or rogue system.

Pauly, I just bought it used very recently. It came with a set of Vitesse chips and smt-6. I was hoping to replace just the maf for now.

Okay, I see. Okay so what it looks like and what it might be are 2 different things. Got any part numbers on it? Best chance to see what it is by that. If LR have removed the numbers and any form of identification then you should contact LR to make sure you get the right maf. Companies usually remove the ID numbers so people cannot replicate them. I know Rogue and Vitesse does this. It also makes the user at the other end contact the company who they bought it from for spares so they don't change it with the wrong one and ruin something.

After a little research, it's from a ford 5.0.

I feel dumb I didnt need an airflow meter, I needed directions.

I went on their website, and found all the support that I needed... The factory DME supplies a 5V signal to the AFM, and the Ford Airflow meter requires 12V.
Here I was thinking I needed a new AFM because the car only idled when it was disconnected.... I put 12 V to that supply wire and it ran great!

Lucky you found out before buying one!

I think we've all missed something like that before.

Definitely, I wasnt looking forward to spending another $488...especially after basically restoring the car over the last 3 years
