Thanks, all. I wish we had a junk yard nearby, but if we do I haven't found it. The local parts store will get a new one down here tomorrow from the big city, and I'll let you all know how it works out. I'll hose it down with the MAF cleaner first; that's a good tip.

I have unplugged and re-plugged the MAF connector. Everything looks bright and shiny inside the connectors. I hadn't known that the P0106 might indicate a vacuum problem, so I'll check over those hoses. The MAF is expensive, but at least it's easy to get at. It's below zero here, so easy to get at is a big deal. Thanks!

Hello, my '96 Legacy has started running rough, dies at idle, loses power. It smooths out a little at higher RPMs, above 2000 or so. The error codes I am reading are: P0100, P0303, P0304, P0106, P0170, P0106 again. I'm thinking that these all point to a MAF sensor problem. Smoothing out at higher RPM suggests that I'm getting decent fuel pressure, and the MAF and fuel trim codes (100 and 170) together might explain the cylinder 3 and 4 miss codes (303 and 304). Am I going wrong here? Is it reasonable to replace the MAF as a starting point, or what would you recommend? I have a code reader but no scan tool.
