your car, if it runs, will run horribly if that MAF Sensor isn't in. Plus, they break really easy if you jar them around or drop them...pretty expensive I have found.

well i looked it over and made sure it was tight and that the arrow was faceing to the enging because thats the flow of air i am assuming. so i this fixed it how long will it take for the onboard lights to go off? and if the MAF is bad how will i look for sure before i replace one?

Well i took the mass flow sensor area out and blew it out and looked it over good i think that when i put it in i put the arrow going opposite the flow of air so i fix that and made sure the sensor was in tight, then autozone told me to undo the battery for 2min and the car will earse the codes and i did that and so far i been driving for 2 days and no lights havecame on so i think it must have been something minor. still do know why the ABS light would come. But thanks for the help i was freaking out there for awhile.
