I came across this interesting read .....

The following is a compilation of information about MAF sensors and their function from mostly WWW and mail list information. It is biased towards the Ford style two wire MAF used on mostly any Ford since the early 1990s gasoline engines.

The stock MAF in the pic on the right has a black plastic post going through the center; that is the post. Notice it is avsent in the MAF on the right.

Words to live by.....


" The best way to increase the flow to the motor and let it know is to get the system tested or get a system that has been flow profiled and includes the ability to program the PCM. You can't just "recalibrate" the MAF. Load will be incorrect. This can affect the durability of the motor especially when WOT driving is done"


Great article with excellent information, that's definatly one to bookmark!

Thanks, Al!
