Hi, I have a 99 Nissan Sentra and I am about to change the MAF. The problem lies in the area of the connectors. My 99 (1.6 automatic), has 3 prongs on the MAF. Will a MAF from 1997 fit my 99?? (which has 4 prongs and the numbers match on the red tag)...I've been having conflicting opinions on whether or not the 97 will fit on the 99...I'm sure someone out there knows this answer. Thank you, Jody

I assume you know part numbers for a new and old MAF. I'd suggest you to try to google the pin-outs of both MAFs and compare them. That's where I would begin searching.

I have googled it with both numbers, I have looked up every possible method I know how and now I would simply like a warm body with first hand experience out there who has tried interchanging a 97 MAF for 1.6 to a 99 MAF with a 1.6...Thanks, Jody

It should plug in with no issues. As far as it working goes, I am not 100% but I believe it will, here's why I think that.

When the turbo GA guys use the 240SX MAF it is a 3 wire vs 4 wire difference and it works just fine. I believe the difference to be two ground wires VS. one ground wire. I personally used the 240MAF and then upgraded to the cobra MAF which also uses 4 wires and all I had to do was add the ground.

In either case you can make it work as long as the connector is the same you can easily probe the wires as there are only 3 different functions and change them around if necessary.

Wires are as follows.
5 v signal wire (.05 - 5.11)
ground
12 v power wire

If it has 4 wires I believe it simply utilizes two grounds.
