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 Mass Air Flow Sensor

The Mass Air Flow Sensor is as vital component in any Ford Taurus car as it means that it measures the quality of air that gets into an engine. This information is then send to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and which in turn reprogram the fuel injection so that the right air and fuel mixture prevails for efficient burning. Different generations of Ford Taurus models have incorporated diverse kinds of Mass Air Flow Sensors such as Vane Meter (VAF) and Hot Wire sensors. This is true since the VAF sensor though efficient in its function, poses restrictions to the airflow, and is prone to mechanical wear and tear than the hot wire sensor that is reckoned for accuracy and flexibility but for the influences of contaminants. It is wise to maintain the Mass Air Flow Sensor because some signs that relate to it include stalling or ratios of air and fuel that are wrong and lead to checking of the engine and generation of the red light DAC.

We provide a wide range of Ford Taurus Mass Air Flow Sensor at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Taurus Mass Air Flow Sensor, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
