Ford MAF Sensor Cleaning

FORD Mass air flow sensors are in charge of measuring the amount of air that enters the engine. The FORD Mass Air Flow sensor is a very delicate sensor. It uses two wires to measure the amount of air flowing into the engine. The two wires are heated by electricity, and the more electricity used to heat the wires, tells the ECU how much air is flowing past the sensor's heated element.

Between very fine dirt and the trend towards oiled filters, it's very important to clean the FORD MAF. Cleaning the MAF has so many benefits, like reducing pinging, increasing mileage, and preventing it from burning out, saving you lots of money. There's no reason to not clean the FORD MAF sensor once every 6 months. Also clean it shortly after installing or reinstalling an oil filed air filter.
You don't need many tools. You'll need a flat head screwdriver and safety Torx or Tamper Proof Torx bits. Make sure you get the size seen on screen, which is T-20.

Now, it's time for an important note. Only use the electric cleaner seen here. It's ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER. This is the only thing you should use to clean your MAF. Only ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER. No windex, no carb cleaner, no brake cleaner, no rubbing alcohol, and absolutely no Q-Tips. See it all here on this video.
