How to locate and clean maf
I have the 04 4.6 v8. Idles is hesitation and im hoping my maf is just dirty. No codes besides p0442. I need to clean MAF anyways. Where is it located and how do i clean it? Just spray the sensor after taking out??

You mass air flow sensor is located in your air intake duct...remove it... normally 2 screws and clean it with some MAF cleaner you can buy at any automotive store. let completely dry re-install. Disconnect your batt during this and re-connect when finished, this will clear your code..

Mine came out very easily but my MAF was pretty dirty. In having a little hesitation/sputtering at WOT and am just doing some maintenance. I'm also doing plugs and coils and just put in a new k&n air filter

I had to clean the MAF sensor in my 4.2 V6. I have the cannister type air cleaner, with the MAF sensor in the engine side of the cannister. All I needed to do was disconnect the cannister, and the MAF sensor was in plain view inside the cannister. I just cleaned it from there, and put the cannister back together.
