It’s tough enough when the trouble codes indicate something vague like “random misfire” or “system too lean,” but it can be even worse when there are no codes at all, with only a driver’s complaint about stalling or sluggish performance.

I can there and start it up, and then push this side down into place and start my two bolts over here, and then tighten them up. I'm actually cheating-just looking right through here. And put the throttle body cover back in place, and you just have to, kind of, move it around a little bit to figure out where the bolt hole is. Flat blade screwdriver to tighten up the clamp that holds it onto the throttle body. Reconnect this connector, and put this back in here. And your mass air flow connection-reconnect it. Just reach down and make sure nothing's getting pinched, and lock that down into place. The tab lines up there and this clamp goes on. And then put your air intake back in place over here. This little cut-out should align with that tab. And then there's just little slots inside where these tabs go. Then put your sensor back in, reconnect the connection and make sure it clicks. Put it in place and then use your two screws to reattach, and tighten it up. Looks a little different, but it's going to bolt in exactly like the original. You can see that the connections are the same. And here's a new airflow sensor from 1A Auto, and here's the original one from the vehicle. We'd use a quarter inch socket and a quarter inch drive ratchet and remove the two bolts that hold it in, and it comes off. And it actually comes with a torx bit, a safety bit that has the hole to remove these. And this Delphi version-pull it out-it's going to be exactly the same as the original, a little different case now, but it will work. And here's the tab that you push down right there.
Now, you want to pull this out, and then the tab you push down right behind this little loop, and it comes off. And then there's another connector, press the tab and disconnect. You may press down on the tab and use your screwdriver to pry a little bit to help loosen it up, and take those off. And there's two connectors-one is easy to see here. Once you pull it off the throttle body, you can twist a little bit and pull those tubes free. Loosen the throttle body clamp with a flat blade screwdriver and just, kind of, pull up and down on the whole ducting.
Two 10-mm bolts on this side and one over on the passenger side, and remove those with a 10-mm socket and ratchet.
