I was having a problem with my 2000 Honda Civic Ex.
The car has 98,000 miles on it. The problem I had was that the rpms would move up and down when the car was on park, between 1000 rpms and 2000 rpms, check engine light came on. I took it to a recommended mechanic and he said I needed a new Mass Flow Sensor. He sent me to Honda dealership because he claimed it is worth getting the original part from Honda. The Mass Flow Sensor retailed at Honda for $320 with the mechanics discount I got it for $257. The car works fine now but my question is what are the chances he didn't really change the Mass Flow Sensor with the new one and just cleaned the old one and put it back in place and kept the new one? I ask this because I just found out the I could have bought and after market Mass Flow Sensor for 79.99 at Autozone.
