BECAUSE IVE TOLD YOU TIME AND TIME AND TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN THE SIGNAL IS 5-0v!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS FIVE TO ZERO.
WHEN IT'S THE HIGHEST TEMP ITS 5 VOLTS. WHEN AIR PASSES OVER THE SENSOR THE RESISTANCE INCREASES AND THE VOLTAGE DROPS TO 0 AT ITS COLDEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL, IF YOU'D CLICK THE LINK I GAVE YOU, YOU CAN SEE THE GOD DAMN SIGNAL ON A OSCILLOSCOPE!
HENSE MY MOTHERFUCKING INSISTANCE ON TRYING TO TRICK THE ECU INTO SEEING 5 ******* VOLTS AT THE MAF SIGNAL INPUT.
JESUS HOLY COW.
THATS FIVE TO ZERO.

Thought I'd quote that to emphasize your point

1) Voltage drop between pins 4 & 5
2) Resistance between pins 4 & 5
2) Resistance between pin 4 & GND
3) Voltage between pin 4 & GND
I would do it, but I don't have my MAF plumbed in, so I wouldn't have any airflow over it to make the readings accurate. Since the ECU is kicking a code with it plugged in and no flow those values will do me no good.
Best way to probe those points with the MAF plugged in is to either stick a needle through the insulation or push a piece of jumper wire through the rubber grommets on the connector.

Tomorrow you will have the numbers, im gonna have all morning free.
I am bumping this so I can remind myself and make sure to do it so I dont look like a tool saying twice I will do something and then not doing it.
Btw, are you sure its between 4 and 5 and not 3, 4 and ground? I mean, the 12v all it does is heat up the wire, the refrence voltage is probably 3 and 4.
or should I just do the whole battery of tests and probe everything?
Edit: btw, im not running my LC1 off the same wire as the Maf. Should I take it off that just in case?

Can I get someone that still has their MAF plumbed in to measure the following values for me with the car running (after 15 seconds so the sensor get's fully warm).
1) Voltage drop between pins 4 & 5
2) Resistance between pins 4 & 5
2) Resistance between pin 4 & GND
3) Voltage between pin 4 & GND

3 is the AIT, that is not the wire we want to probe off of.
the tests I asked for should be all we need. My inspection expires today, so it's time to get on the ball on this one. I have 5 days before I risk another ticket for being out of date.

Man im sorry, freaking everything is canabolizing my time these last few days. My GF's mom fell from a flight of stairs and fucked up both arms so I had to go to hospital with them, her father bought a washing machine that needed to be picked up and installed today, I needed to take my GF food shopping so she can feed them, then on top of that my aunte called a short notice party for new years.
Ill get em for you first thing tomorrow. Everyone, including my GF should be hammered and no one will bother me.

right... so since you measured 13V differential between 4&5, that means the ECU is getting 14.7-13=1.7V at idle. Sounds reasonable. I'm thinking that a 1.7M-ohm resistor between 4&5 would deal with the MAF. I'll go take a look in a few.
*edit* Electrical Guys... please have a look at this and double check my logic/math. I verified the measured numbers and made a quick schematic for visualizing what is going on. I believe a 1.4-1.5 M-ohm resistor between pins 4&5 will take care of the MAF. The AIT can be bypassed as shown by Scott earlier in the thread.
