Go to any auto parts store and ask them to read the trouble codes BEFORE you buy any new parts.
I replaced the maf and its housing piece that it comes in. When I had the car scanned previously the only code that came up was the maf malfunction. I checked all the seals and it is seated properly. Perhaps I should buy the name brand like boshe and I'll have better luck
