Air Flow meter????

Hey guys, my air flow meter is not checking out properly, per FSM specs. I am looking into buying a new one, but there are several different brands and price ranges. Is there any brands I should avoid?

What about the Throtle Position Sensor? Do you recommend using OEM for that also??

Just curious, why? I found A TPS at autozone that has a 2 year warranty and it says guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM specs and service life.

I guess for the same reason you bought a Toyota truck instead of a Ford Ranger. How long did the Toyota TPS last you? Like over 13 years probably? Do you want a part that may only last 2 years?
