my old maf had 5 connector tabs a-e i think, then the one i brought from someone only has 4 connection tabs, b-e. is this ok? its cured the prob with the old maf not working and this one obviously is but is the (a) tab actually connected to anything as it turns out that the clicking noise i thought was coming from under the car is actually from the engine - a misfire! could this be from this new maf or is it totally unrelated?
also is it still ok to drive the car lightly with a misfire for a day or two until the garage can fit it in or will it cause damage?
