MAF Sensor
You can get them on ebay for a good price. Just make sure you get the one with the complete setup and not just the sensor itself. I recall seeing it for 180 or so.

My MAF came to 263.00 after tax at the dealership. I would check ebay first and make sure its brand new before you buy.
Go here... $218.00 free shipping bosch part

This place has good pricing. I bought a belt tensioner pulley from them for $125.00 that was $250.00 at the dealer. They give free shipping on all orders over $50.00

Go outside and do this real quickly before you replace the MAF.
I noticed on mine the rubber hose that runs to the MAF from the head was loose. It appears the heat off the header bakes the tube and it get's hard and backs off the MAF/throttle body.
Remove the top panel with the air cleaners in it so you can get a good look down in there, and find the 1 in diameter tube coming off the drivers side head and running to just under the MAF connector harness. Make sure it is snug. It appears as if it (the MAF assembly) can move when the air element is not attached and when replacing the air filters you can get it to wiggle loose.
When I shoved mine back on the car perked up a lot when cold, but I still have my bogging, loss of power, at half throttle or more when the car warms up. Likely I need a MAF, or my TB has become dirty from this tube being loose.
I'll know more tomorrow when I can get a good look in there. It's coooold tonight.
Also, if anyone knows..... the MAF assembly connects to the back of the motor and I noticed where it connects to the motor it can be wiggled a LOT (like it does not have a solid connection) Is this normal? (we are speaking of the piece under the MAF going into the block)
The most weird part of my problem is that I can put my foot down 3/4 of the way taking off and it will lack power then all of a sudden burst open with insane amounts of power from that point on with the pedal still at 3/4 way.
anyway, the MAF number for the CLK430 is bosch sensor 0 280 217 810

I think my rubber seal on the housing going to the Tb is old. it doesn't seem to seal tightly.
anyway, here's the tube hole location. Seen on the side in the arch.
