CHOPER

I intended to clean my MAF senson but i didnt do my research before hand i unscrewed the connector and pulled out the whole thing i noticed it was obvious i did sumthing wrong so i cut out the silicon around the top cover to expose the inside i noticed that the two small metal parts that are sodered together broke apart frm each other i made sure they where touching when i reassembled the MAF the truck is running just fine but i would feel better if i could put it bak the way it was.The only thing is that when im drinving it the check engine light comes on for a few seconds then turns back off. So now my question is will my MAF sensor be ok or do i need to replace it now because of the small sodered parts that came apart. Please help i need to take my yota on a trip soon and i have to make sure its in perfect working order.

It's hard to say if you broke anything. It sounds like you might have, or at least broken a solder connection that holds a part in a certain spot. So now you might have some unwanted play between connections, causing the CEL to light up.

Can you re solder them, or are they in bad shape?

well actually theyre attached on both ends they just broke in the middle the end that connects to the part that looks like a mother bord on a comp is still intact. can i soder the two ends together? or with there be a problem futher down the line?
