Question Help with Mass Air Flow Sensor

I am getting a CEL every couple of days for the mass air flow sensor and one of the oxygen sensors. I have already removed and cleaned the mass air flow, and am still getting codes for it. Where can I find the cheapest mass air flow new? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

yeah I got one from 986 online. I hope this fixes the problem. But they did have the best price I could find. They were about $50 cheaper than pelican or anywhere else.

what years your car and what are the fault codes, the o2 sensor faults are not always a maf problem they can be casued by vacum leaks as well you need to know the fuel trim values to accuratly diagnose the vechicle instead of throwing a $400+ part at it

Well, I took it to the dealer because the manager is a friend of mine, and he told me I had a serious vaccuum leak from the oil dipstick tube. So it may not be that bad. We'll see if they find anything else.
