My dad was a master mechanic, always clearly explaining what to do and how to do it. You're right up there. Thanks for a simple and clear explanation. I'll be looking for throttle cleaning next.

I have a friend with a 1994 Ford Thunderbird LX 4.6L V8. His engine stalls at idle unless he holds the pedal a little bit. Running too rich.
Thank you brother, a nice simple straightforward guide. I'm gonna do mine soon 👍

I used to work for the screw manufacture that made those torx screws. That is called a secure Torx. You can get those in bit and screwdriver. Other than in auto use, you will see these most commonly in restroom stalls holding them together. Trust me....you'll see them. Sound odd though I know.
Anyway....The screw is a Secure Torx bit.

That seems simple. I replaced the old one on my 1992 Ford Taurus SHO about 2 years ago. Now, the ECM gave me a code related to the MAF the other day, so I went out and got a MAF cleaner spray can to clean it. The reason is because of what I call shuddering upon letting off the gas pedal.
very simple explanation and effort... i've seen others pull out the whole air filter box just to clean the small parts of the sensors coil lol

Perfect would have stated that the air filter being dirty or dirty all of the time contributed to a scaled mafs
Thank you so much for sharing this I’m not late but rather right on time so I’m gonna clean my maf tomorrow and change throttle body also but I need to know if I can relearn new throttle after replacing it

Flashback502 Ok 👍🏻 ❤️
I have a 99 expedition that shut off while driving. After sitting, it will start and sputter for about 30-45 seconds before shutting off. I believe I heard a pop from the exhaust. Could it possibly be my airflow sensor? Thankyou for such a clear video.
Sounds like could be your fuel pump. Please subscribe & like and share if haven't already and check out our other helpful videos

If my F150 has a mass air flow sensor does it not have a MAP sensor. I saw some videos and looked in the book and thought the MAP sensor was my problem but I can't locate where it should be. But I do have a mass air flow sensor.
Thanks..great video!
Your welcome
Believe it or not, Starter Fluid works too. The drying time is about 30 minutes too
Thanks for info. Please subscribe & like and share if haven't already and check out our other helpful videos
It works but it also leaves a residue you can't see but will baud cause the MAF to get dirty again quicker. I'd recommend CRC Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner. Most mechanics recommend this and warn about using other products to clean it.
Hey thank you very much for that interested in tidbit I hope I'm not too late as this video was posted some time ago. I have a Ford 2004 Ford freestar 4.2 l I wanted to know is that mass air flow sensor located in the same place on my vehicle? I didn't get a chance to look at it as of yet and just wanted to know before I get surprised when I open up my hood thank you

Can I use alcohol to clean it or whatever barbers use
Think carb and choke cleaner would work also?
I have a 95 explorer 4x4 6 cylinder.when it's at a dead stop it doesn't want to shift into 2nd unless letting off the gas then it'll shift.please tell me there's something I can do.the trans was replaced about 10,000 moles ago

Great video. I guess you can’t really get to it to spray it without taking it out?
Sometimes you can but most time it's better just to remove.

Would this have to be done a couple times a year on an older (2013) Escape that's up to 90,000 miles? I did this back about September/October and it is throwing that code again today, about 6 months later. I don't drive nearly like I used to and seldom down a gravel road so not lots of dust. Just wondering. Thanks for your video...makes it super simple.
Normally not but on a older vehicle may need to, would clean it and if helps great.

Thats a t20 torx security bit
Question i know somebody that got a 94 Ford F150 its a little beat up but runs pretty good but it needs that Air Flow sensor he want 1400 for it. Would yall buy it ?
If it runs good and miles are not extremely high yes but would offer $1000 first.

Thanks mate! If you use photoshop and then cut the background out, to get a clean edge on your picture without the jagged edge you have on that torx bit, turn the colour scale down to match 2 pixels. Then use the magic wand tool.
Just in case you didn't know :) thought I would help

I never realized "females" torked....I thought they just twerked....lol
mass air flow sensor cleaner is $10. Not $2.
couldn't you just remove the air hose and spray it while it's still installed?
You could but may not get all the way clean.
Remove it for the best cleaning possible. Takes 5 minutes.
