How critical is the replacement of a impossible mass airflow sensor to the natural life of other engine parts?

I've got a 00 Chev Monte Carlo near the 3.8L V6. Will not replacing the sensor cause further sabotage to other sensors or engine parts? Just dropped $500 on hail impair, don't want to replace right away.

You would capture poor gas mileage, unusual behavior (stalling, hesitation), incorrect air/fuel mixture (would also trip a number of other sensors) which could organize to internal damage.

Why is my vehicle making a "click"...


The airflow sensor help the engines computer know how to run the engine. This is an important piece to the cars proper operation.

With the airflow helping the computer I would capture it fixed. If you have to hit the Junkyards within your area and look for the sensor on another chevy. But you obligation to get it fixed.

Answers:    Don't let some "mekanik" homily you into spending a lot on a maf sensor. If your vehicle is running ok you don't have need of it replaced. A shop with a computer that can graph hje operation of your sensors can explain to you what is good or unpromising. Not all shops enjoy this capability. Don't step on the "I think the problem is---" You will be in motion broke and still have a problem.
