This is a picture from the throttle body and MAF sensor cleaning thread on the how to section. My question to you guys is the black plastic connector the MAF? Im just not sure where EXACTLY the MAF sensor is located.




p.s. I hope its ok that i used this pic

 

I see no MAF in this picture . It is in the the air intake tube towards the air cleaner.

 

hmmmmm...i thought that it was that black connector on the throttle body. You dont take those two screws out and the wires are there?

 

Nope. What size engine do you have? on the 4.6, the MAF is located on the underside of the air intake tube just before the air filter. If you look under, you will see the wiring harness for it.

 

I'm not sure but I believe the black connector next to the throttle body is the TPS, but don't quote me on that. This looks like a 5.4 throttle body so the MAF is nothing more than a card/chip located in the intake tubing. It will have a red clip and it slides right out of its holster.

 

That is a throttle position sensor on the throttle body. Maf is located in the air intake tube.

 

Thank you guys for your help. I found the Maf sensor and will be cleaning it in the morning because as soon as I started to mess with it a storm blew in pretty quick and I didn't want to rush the cleaning and drying part of it. I baught the crc Maf sensor cleaning spray. I cleaned the throttle body last night (with throttle body cleaning spray by crc) but didn't take any pics and would of done the Maf sensor if I known where it was lol. My throttle body was pretty dirty. Do my Maf sensor wires look dirty??

 

Hey man notice any improvements??

 

My truck mysteriosly shut down on the interstate saturday, i pulled over put it in park and it started right back up. CEL didn't come on or anything. It did it to me 2 more times before I got back to the house as I was coming to a stop. It was idling a little rough and the RPMs were bouncing around. I scanned it for codes and got P0104 which I think is MAF circuit intermittent or something so I pulled it out and it looked really clean to me but I sprayed the crap out of it with that MAF cleaning spray and it seems to be driving normal again. I meant to check it for codes again last night just to make sure but I forgot.

 

Not Really.....but i noticed a lil in the rough idle. I did a lot!! I mean A LOT of city driving today in plano,tx so a lil rough idle at the stop lights im sure was normal. It seems that maybe it woke up a lil on the gas pedal but cant really tell. I do know for a fact though that cleaning the throttle body and maf sensor did it some good.....i hope.
