Screwed up MAF

[OZMDD]

OK, while installing the MAF to the oem airbox on this 1.6L NA, I tugged on the plug assy without realizing it was not screwed in, and it came partially out of the maf housing. I pushed it back in, but it the air door no longer wants to swing open freely. It feels like it is hanging up on something, and it obviously isn't letting the car idle.

Is this an easy fix, a rebuild, or just pick up another MAF?

POS - you are damn amazing sometimes. That was exactly what happened. 5-minute fix, and she's back up and running before bedtime.

Bonus - since I have the exhaust removed behind the cat, I got to piss-off the wife by firing it up and checking it for a minute in the garage! Sounds kinda like Mark's DP car..

That always leads to good things.
