you know the electrical part of the mass air? what the harness for the mass air plugs into ! the little black unit on top! my buddy was screwing with his and took off the plastic cover and i think he shorted it out! cause it looks like one of the little wires inside is busted!!! any my question is where can you get just the electrical part not the whole mass air unit! if we went to the wreckers besides mustangs of the same years , what other car mass airs would work with it! its a 1991 mustang lx with stock 19lbs injectors! i changed my injectors to 48lbs and don't have the original mass air or id give it to him to use! any help would be good thanks!!

The sensor is calibrated to the computer. You cannot use one from another model car unless it has the same computer calibration. You can use 70 MM MAF assembly with the sensor from one of the following cars. Do not try to use the sensor without using the 70 MM housing. They are designed to work together and will match the 5.0 Mustang's computer.

94-95 Mustang GT MAF - $40-$100. It is 70 MM instead of the stock 55 MM on regular stangs built prior to 94. It uses a slip on duct on the side that goes to the throttle body and a 4 bolt flange on the other. You need a flange adapter to fit the stock slip on air ducting that goes to the air box. Wiring plugs right in with no changes. *1 *2


*1.) Metal flange adapter http://www.kustomz.com/cat3.html Buy the TR70 for $44.95. Or spend some time on eBay looking for one that may fit.

*2.) MAF & sensor interchange
The 94-95 Mustang 5.0 MAF & sensor is also found on:
1995-94 Mustang 3.8L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1994-92 Crown Victoria 4.6L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1995-94 Mustang, Mustang Cobra 5.0L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1994-92 Town Car 4.6L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1994-92 Grand Marquis 4.6L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
Evidently the –A1A, -A2A, AA, etc. on the end of the part number is a minor variant that did not change the operating specs. You should be able to ignore it and have everything work good.

See www.rockauto.com for parts interchange information.

The stock replacement part you are looking for will have an 'F1ZF' in the part number.

In my opinion, it would be best to snag the electronics and the MAF tube, as Ford calibrates these setups as a unit.
This shouldn't make a significant difference, but the potential is there...
Just taking the sensor will also expose the sensor wires to the risk of being damaged during transport...


The F1ZF/55mm units can also be found on some Taurus and T-Bird models. There may be others as well, so just keep your eyes open as you wander through the j/y.


With all that said though...
The suggestion by JRicker is recommended,
The 94/95 MAF is nearly a direct swap...


good luck,
jason
