I maybe wrong but I'm pretty sure the 5.0 uses a MAP sensor not a MAF sensor.

The MAF sensor will win this game of hide and seek....Ford forgot to install it.

I know the 18+ are a little different, but pretty sure this is still the same....but at least on the 15-17’s, it uses map and no maf, and it’s buried away on the BACK of the intake manifold. It’s not easy to get to like a typical maf between the air cleaner and throttle body.

No MAF, and MAP's don't need cleaning. Not that MAF's ever really did either.

Correct no MAF on this one, pressure and temperature

A lot of vehicles are even integrating temperature sensors, humidity, pressure sensors into modern MAFS

Attempting to "clean" a MAF like you used to be able to do with the hold simple hot wire sensors was a band aid at best. I would definitely not recommend "cleaning" a MAF on a newer vehicle
