Quick question related to the MAF!

[Repoman]

I remember when I unplugged my MAF one time to troubleshoot a poor running condition I had. It would trip the Trans Failsafe program when unplugged. I don't know why but when I plugged it back in, Trans Failsafe would go off again. It appeared to me that the vehicle was not driveable with the MAF unplugged for this reason.

Quick question, why do you say (Gone, Thank gd) within your signature referring to your X? :/

My X had an extremely poor reliability record and endured parts failures very frequently. I grew tired of spending countless hours and $'s dealing with it. Also, the X was purchased as a safe and reliable vehicle for my wife to drive my child around in. But after stranding them on the side of the road the 2nd time, my wife refused to drive it ever again citing safety issues. The X pretty much wore out its welcome in my driveway by failing to live up to the reasons for which it was purchased . . . safety and reliability.

Please don't take my answer as an insult to your vehicle or brand. I just had a very poor experience with my X. I have always had rediculously good reliability with my Lexuses so I just went back with experience has taught me. It's a huge relief for me to know that my wife and child will make it to their destination without mechanical failure and to know that I won't have to spend another weekend under the hood. I guess that's why it's in my signature.
