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.
Just bought the cleaner and will give it a try in the morning, thanks!

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.

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

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
Your very welcome should be located within the same general location.Please subscribe & like and share if haven't already and check out our other helpful videos

Great video....the only thing I would mention is you don't need to wait 20-30 min for it to dry....it's ready to drive in 3min or less even! The cleaner evaporates quickly!!!

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.

Flashback502 Ok 👍🏻 ❤️
Can I use alcohol to clean it or whatever barbers use
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.
Great video. Thanks so much.

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.

With a dirty mass air flow sensor.. Will the car not start at all? Mine just keep cranking and cranking
Most time will start but will run bad. Unplug and see if starts.

Yes it start when I unplug but it runs bad.. I wonder what could it be?
Thank you, I love this.

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.

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.
I have a 2016 focus st.. I am wondering if is the same process?
Thanks for watching yes should be the same or close to it. Please subscribe & like and share if haven't already and check out our other helpful videos
Hey do you think I should clean or replace my MAF sensor ?
I would clean first and see if car runs fine, if not then I would change. Please subscribe & like and share if haven't already and check out our other helpful videos
did it do anything
Yes. If your MAF is dirty then it will help, if that's the problem. Please like subscribe and share.
Can it be cleaned with carb cleaner?
@@davidheigel7221 Don’t know if you’ve already done this, hopefully not , but I’ve read that using carb cleaner could destroy some of the plastics so I’d recommend using only the CRC MAF sensor cleaner!!
help i can not find this sensor😳 on my 91 F250 7.5L V8
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.
@@Flashback502 ok appreciate it
can I use WD40? Is the product specific cleaner necessary?
No, use spray it's made for MAS. please subscribe like and share and check our my other helpfull videos.
What’s that bolt connected to the box do?
Thats a t20 torx security bit
My 2014 fushion is not located there. Could it be somewhere else? I can’t find the MAF
Thanks for watching yes you should have 1 just do a Google search for MAS on your car so you will see a picture and know what you are looking for. Please subscribe & like and share if haven't already and check out our other helpful videos
Is it the same on a 3.0L Ford Duratec motor on a 2005 500 Limited? Thanks!!
Sorry but not sure.

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
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.
