Based on this: http://www.knfilters.com/instructions/57-2556_inst.pdf and this picture, it goes between the adapter and the the throttle body.

i took the car to ford before i screw anything else up and they want 80 to check it out and possibly another 280 plus labor for the maf sensor- if that is the problem.
