Yeah so my little '90 Protege has 412,000 kms and it has been suffering over the years from a MAF plug problem. There is a metal clip that holds the plug in place but that original is long since broken. I have been holding it on with zip ties for the last four years and going from extreme climates in Canada to Arizona, it gives me fits. In January I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, coil, distributor, plug and wire kit, and MAF, and possibly something else that doesn't come to mind. She runs like a champ but I can not find out where to get a new plug/wire harness kit for the MAF. This car will go another 50k easily if that stupid wire/plug were in good shape. The zip tie method left me on the 101 freeway in rush hour the other day so I need some advice ASAP. My commute is 45 minutes accross Phoenix and I need this car, plus she is a part of me. Anyone know who or where I should look for help???

Welcome to CP.
Could you just hardwire the connection and eliminate the plug completely?

Yeah my friend just mentioned that to me as well, or find a new one at an auto wrecker...wish I were a little more able and I would do it. Maybe a shop in town has a guy that will accept the challenge. Thanks for the advice

Put a dab of silicone on the mass. Slide the plug on. Silicone will keep it on and when you need to unplug it. It will come off fairly easy.
