question about MAF connector/pigtail wire

[Evanarc]

whats up car buddies..I posted a while ago about MAF problems.

Turns out cleaning the unit itself with lectra motive and sanding down the male and female adaptor parts and applying some dielectric grease was only a temporary fix; there was still stalling and the emissions smelled like ***. Long story short i needed a new MAF and was able to get the whole thing brand new for 300 which i thought was a deal considering the infiniti dealership's offer of 585. The only problem is the pigtail wires are pretty shot 2, we tested the integrity and its not very strong, plus the rpms r still kinda jumpy minus the stalling.

i hooked up a temporary wire for now but was able to find a new pigtail to a 300zx for very cheap. The adaptor is different (4 prongs)

can i still use it.?? If not where can i get a new one or at least a new adaptor? i dont trust used parts especially buying online sight unseen

Thanx guys n e insight on this would b appreciated

No need to be a jack-hole when asking for advice.

No need to be a jack-hole when asking for advice.

Especially when it is correct and when one is incapable of spelling the three letter pronoun "you".

It can be very hard to reach Joe. Your odds of winning the lottery might be better. That doesn't mean that there aren't any other people working there that are nice and helpful too.
