P0102 for a 2000 Chevy Blazer

Scotty, my 2000 Chevy Blazer threw a MIL light for a MAF sensor too low about 6 months ago. Thankfully I bought my own Innova 3160. Six months ago, I pulled a P0102 MAF sensor low. So I removed it, used MAF cleaner and sprayed it. Letting it dry for 30 minutes, I reinstalled it. THAT unit worked well for about a week, then the same P0102 code came back on. I also own a donor vehicle (1998 Chevy S-10 p/u with the same 4.3 V6). 5 months ago, I removed that MAF, sprayed it, and installed it. It cleared the MIL light until yesterday while driving back from Laguna Beach, CA. While there are no adverse effects (shuddering, stalling), I ran a diagnostics and it indicated the same P0102 code. Both MAF units are genuine AC Delco or Remy parts. The vehicle has 198,151 miles. It "runs like a clock" (as you say), still shifts "like a dream", naturally leaks oil from the rear main oil seal onto a catalyst converter at the "y", and the only hands that work on it are mine. I purchased it from a family member in 2009, and that member was the original owner. The ONLY thing done to it is a K&N cold filter kit, but I do have all of the original parts. The only modification here is that the kit has been on for well over 7 years. A short list of repairs:

AC Delco Spider injector replacement with AC Delco MPI injectors over 8 years ago; AC Delco intake manifold gaskets developed a coolant leak, replaced with FRAM intake gaskets; new AC Delco iridium plugs replacement of AC Delco double platinum plugs, AC Delco fuel pump replacement with an Autozone lifetime pump; MSD heavy duty wires, and an AC Delco Cap and Rotor set. 

As you can see most everything replacement is by way of factory parts. I tried to go in as much detail. If there's something that I missed, fill free to reply. 

Thanks,

Erik

Get rid of the cold air kit and put the stock configuration back on it.  It will never pass CA smog inspection with that modification anyway.

I agree with Doc. The  vehicle will run  better with the original part.
