ok today i was looking in the engine bay and i noticed something off near the air filter area i look at the MAF sensor and notice that the bolts that are holding the MAF to the intake box are completely rusted and even worse one of them is snapped off and idea where i can get replacements or how to get the snapped one out ( will try to get pics up soon )

Not good news, Allan :( Can you tell how deeply the bolt is snapped off? If there is enough of it sticking above the surface after you remove the MAF, you can slot it and simply use a screwdriver. If there is enough clearance to work with (usually isn't :roll:) you can put a HeliCoil into the screw and turn it out that way.

If its too tight to turn or too crowded to work in there, you might have to make clearance to get to it. That could involve raising the engine off the mounts until you can access that area. :cry:
