Maf question

RsStanG1987 · May 22, 2010

So i lost my maf sensor/meter what ever you wanna call it. Is there one i can get from the junkyard off another car that will be a direct replacement for mine. Theres not gonna be any 5.0 cars there so im not sure. I checked the stickies but couldnt find a clear answer.

as long as it matches the injectors

I know that much but the plug has to match also does it not. Your not just guessing are you?

Check the Crown Vics and Lincolns with the 4.6.I'm using one without any issues.

Vinnie is it direct fit or do i have to modify my harness?

Direct fit.

Good luck getting one at a junkyard. I went to a local JY and they would NOT part with the MAF sensors at all. They say they cannot sell the motors because they wont be able to test fire them for possible buyers.

If you have trouble finding one,let me know.I'm hitting the big yard Wednesday,and can get sensors all over.

You'll need a "safety torx" bit.

i was going to take the whole tube.

Even better. Most I've seen are the bolt on kind.The Mark VIII is a prime choice for a meter.

There is only ONE series of meters that is a close enough match with both the injectors and the computer in the Mustang 5.0 (non Cobra). MAF meters aren't universal devices. Each and every one is custom tuned to match the characteristics of the computer. Each computer expects different results from a specific sized and shaped MAF meter and housing depending on how much air is moving through the meter. The computer looks for a specific response from the meter so it can tell a specific sized injector how much fuel to spray.

While a lot of MAF meters may appear to operate properly with a mis matched computer that doesn't mean they're right. At idle most meters do not alter the signal enough from normal parameters to foul up the A/F ratio. But as RPM builds the A/F starts to lean and can easily get so far off that the computer stops looking at the O2 sensors and looks at preprogrammed tables to fire the injectors and timing.

You can get a meter from the J/Y that is close enough to work properly though. It is specific and must be mounted into it's original housing. Read through this thread for what you need to buy and what you'll need to do to make it work.

I read that install and it confused me more.

What do you need to know? Did you read the entire thread.

You'll have to find a 1988 to 1993 Mustang then. Like I said, the meter/housing was specific to that car. There were no other cars made with that sensor/meter combo.
