How do you remove and install the MAF and IAT sensors from the air filter housing on Ford Taurus?

Both sensors are located on the duct portion of the air filter housing cover, and not all models are equipped with an Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor. Begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Next, disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF or Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor. For the MAF sensor, remove the mounting fasteners and take the sensor out of the air filter housing. For the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor, lift up the tab, turn the sensor counterclockwise, and then pull it out. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Ford Taurus Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor

The Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor provides vital input to the system of Ford Taurus cars as it is related with the temperature of the air which is let into the combustor chamber. This information is fed to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), whereby the timing of the fuel injectors is varied in order to ensure that correct air/fuel is provided under diverse operating conditions. Depending on the year-1 and model of Ford Taurus vehicles, different Intake Manifold Temperature Sensors have been employed such as the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors and Variable Air Flow (VAF) sensors. These sensors are factory calibrated to specific air flow ranges, that enable them to fit performance modifications. However the new changes in air flow resulting from enhancements can go beyond the sensor's allowance and this can pose a problem whereby the information the sensor feeds into the engine may not be correct. The Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor requires accurate diagnosis because presence of dirt or leaks within the intake system may lead to problems affecting the Ford Taurus.

We provide a wide range of Ford Taurus Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor at the best prices possible.
