He cleaned out the tank and the fuel filter and put in a new pump.
Off to buy a locking gas cap. New york living can be a big shrug sometimes.
Running great finally. Still blowing smoke though

I received the 2nd and seemingly correct MAF. Installed it and took off.
WORSE than before. Rolled right to garage that had the truck for 2 weeks and groveled.
He couldnt do anything until next day. So I opened the hood and started checking things out. Mechanic saw me and came to help. Turns out at the right side of the MAF the rubber ending of the intake hose was not seated well AND at the plenum there seemed to be a small hole. He reseated the rubber and tightened it back. I wrapped the other end in duct tape et viola. Running great.
This leads me to wonder if the whole time it was only the hose and NOT the MAF.
I was looking online for a replacement hose but can't find one like mine. Its an odd sort of woven and hardened material. Anyone know anything about this?
I found one but its straight rubber. Mine seems to be formed to the shape it needs to be.
SO happy to finally be driving (excepting the $4.50/gal gas)
Thanks All

My car is going into the shop for a tune up and some other stuff so what ultimately caused your issue? Was it the MAS itself which is costly or the hose?
Very much appreciate and more details you have.
Thanks - Will
