So i made a mistake, and now my car wont run... well it will turn on, but then dies instantly.

I was trying to use that CRC MAF cleaner and i think i did a really bad thing. I couldnt get any of those dinky screws to come off, and im prety sure they are made out of pewter too, not to mention oxydized and a bit rusted, so i couldnt get anything to come apart... So then i decided to take out the two screws that hold the plug in place... and i tried taking out that thing, only to find that they arent connected by wires, they have a bunch of prongs on the other side... so then i tried getting it back in, and that didnt go back in place as easily as it came out, and that was my problem... so now im pretty sure i need a new MAF.

So does this need to be OEM? or is there an aftermarket upgrade? and does anyone have a used/rebuild, or new one laying around? And dont tell me i can repair it, because if im stupid enough to break it, i doubt that im smart enough to fix it.

If you want to buy mine and fix it for yourself ill sell it to you at the core price, which i think is $25-40 or somthing.

Please help, i want to get this running asap. and if you know of a good price online, please link me that as well.
