MAF Sensor Cleaning Ford Ranger

- In this video I'll take you along and show you how I cleaned my MAF sensor on my 2004 Ford Ranger 3.0L. This is a very simple procedure that involves taking the MAF sensor out and spraying MAF sensor cleaner into the sensor to clean the parts inside.
Note: ONLY MAF sensor cleaner should be used to clean a MAF sensor. Consult your parts pro if you have any question about what MAF sensor cleaner is. Be sure to read the instructions on the can before using. Only use the product you purchase as directed by the manufacturer of that product. You should not have to spray an inordinate amount of MAF sensor cleaner on your MAF sensor in order to clean it. (I never really use any more that the amount I used in the video).
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING CHEMICALS AND WHEN REPAIRING VEHICLES.

Literally have never seen such a precise and helpful auto instructional video like this. The extra work you put into clearly showing each step and all the parts was so insanely helpful, thank you so much.
Wow, thanks! That's what I'm aiming for.
Thanks for the video. I like the close-up detail of the undershot of the sensor connector and the air cleaner clips. A couple of my own tips: 1) Don't spray the cleaner over the engine. Do it away from the truck. 2) Don't tap out the air filter near the clean sensor. It might get contaminated. Set the sensor in a clean area and allow it to dry. 3) Replace that dirty air filter.
Thank you for the extra info.

Dude thank you so much for being so thorough about how everything comes apart and goes back together!
My 2008 Ford Ranger completely stalled out. Was running fine.. stopped to get a coffee, started it back up, drove for about 2 minutes and stalled.
I would start it, it would start and then immediately stall.
Root cause was my MAF sensor (of course I didn't know that). Seems like had I diagnosed thar myself cleaning or even replacing that MAF sensor would have e been a breeze. Good video here and very straight forward. Thank you!
Well explained. Well filmed. Well described. Better than what people with 100 times the money produce.
Wow! Thanks for the complement.
Love the detail in this that most videos lack, really helps us DIYers figure stuff out easier lol
Glad to hear it!
Best video I’ve ever seen about sensor replacement.
Dude, you are the ONLY guy who has showed how to remove those damned clips without breaking them. I know it’s not rocket science, and I know how they work, but it takes me longer to get the damned clip off without breaking it, than it takes me to do the damned job!
Lol 😆 I'm glad to help.
Best video on this topic! Love the attention to the close-up view of the connectors. Thanks!
Excellent closeup inserts showing the clips and clamps!
Glad you liked it!
Simply but most important to know, thanks man! Greetings from 🇲🇽
Just following for more videos of ranger 🤙🏽
Thank you, this was a very helpful video. An important help for us shade tree mechanics who depend on precise informational videos like yours... In depth and step by step instructions are needed for the novice like me... Again, thank you soo much!
Glad it was helpful!
I just got charged $235.00 by my local mechanic for this job on my 2003 Ford Ranger! My truck had a rough idle and would die sometimes at intersections. Very good video by the way! I don't care that I got ripped off to some extent because I've got a 2022 Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4x4 that I'm picking up tomorrow. AND it's paid for!
Cool! What makes you think they ripped you off? Diagnostics can be very costly due to their nature. $235 isn't astronomical for diagnostics and repair.
Clean the idle air controller
Yea garages are expensive, if you can do this yourself it's beneficial.
Best video I've seen on this. Thank u
Dude, after such an well done Instructional video even my wife, who is a registered nurse could accomplish this task.
Well, if she’s a nurse that means she’s smart! Glad to help.
GREAT video! The only suggestion I would make is to include symptoms of why you might suspect a bad/dirty Mass Airflow Sensor.
Thank you Keith.
Great, easily understood video!
Good job on video! Thank you. Very informative.
Really clear instructions! Great teacher
Thanks
Great video Thanks for taking the time to film this I didn't realize that a little bee could affect the sensor like that I just bought a 94 ranger splash 3.0 53k original miles on it ,It has a mis and no power I replaced the fuel pump and filter plugs wires Rotor & cap still no power same mis so Im going to try this I did notice on the coil thats in front of the Distributor there is a Silver Condenser looking thing attached to the top of the coil, there are no wires attached to it they must have been cut or broke off ,And there is a wire on the coil Harness with a connector after the connector the wire is cut and I don't know where it goes
Really good video! Great step by step!
Thanks
Great video important to know! Thx!
Well done young man.
Thanks
Thanks for the video it's really help.
Nice Video! ..Its a good time to clean mine in my Ranger 4.0 leter engine.
Definitely only use MAS Cleaner like you stated! ..
Thanks for the easy instructions.
You bet!
Excellent job explaining everything
Thankyou
Thank you
Great straight forward instructions on how to remove , Clean and reinstall my Mass. air flow Sensor . Thanks for Posting ! 👍
Thank you!
My man! Just got a p0172 code and figured it try this first. Great video
I'd say its not a bad start. However, it's been my experience that a p0171 and p0174 are caused by a dirty MAF.
AWESOME WELL DONE VIDEO!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
big help!
Perfect explanation. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
I have a 2005 Ford ranger. Been having problems with check engine light coming on and losing power in the engine. Just had the catalytic converter replaced because they thought it was clogged. When I googled the issue the air flow sensor is what came up in the description and I decided to look it up on CZcams in this video is the first one that I came upon. Very helpful I'm wondering if this was the issue the whole time I have not had a chance to work on the truck yet but I am going to try this.
Let me know if it works please
Was the MAF sensor the problem?
Thank you. That helps a lot. I will be doing this as soon as I get my T-20 from my home shop. Much appreciated. 👍🏼
Thanks for the helpful video 👍
Absolutely 💯
Thanks
Thanks bro...
Does the check engine light come on when it has a bad mass air flow sensor
Good afternoon sir. My question is that, does it affects the vehicle if the cover for the air filter is broken? And has a broken off piece on the side and i can see the air filer a bit in there
Do you wait til it dries. Also what about the electrical connection. Or does it matter? Great video!
You don't need a new maf sensor you need a new air filter lol
I have a misfire going on I changed the spark plugs valves and coil pack but the problem continues
Also when i back up and shift to drive i press the gas pedal but I don’t move even though i see the rpms going up
Where did you person purchase that air flow sensor I can't find that particular one I got the same one in my Ford ranger
It came on the truck when I bought the truck. You can get them at most parts stores.
Man that’s one dirty air filter! I’m surprised it runs at all?
😂
I HAVE THE QUESTION ABOUT DRAIN RADIATOR THE WATER COOLANT ITS NO COMING
Do you remove battery cable before replacement?
It's never a bad idea.
thanks for looking out for my liver
Any time
I have a 2004 Ford ranger 2.3, when I start it up it idles up and down from 1500 rpms to 500 but after it warms up it idles normally. I’ve replaced the 02 sensor, fuel filter and coil pack. Do you think something simple like clean the mass air flow sensor will fix it?
In my opinion, that sounds like a vacuum leak. Id check for vacuum leaks.
Can I use electrical contact cleaner?
I'd stick with MAF cleaner.
I just replace mine and the check engine light is off. Might be a good idea to just clean my old one and save some $$$
Thank you for video, just do not recommend to do it above of engine and grass. And I will use gloves
Nice video but, You dont have to remove the MAF sensor from the housing at all.
Removing two screws can't be that hard... I don't think removing the air filter housing is easier.
The arrows are unnecessary because the screws only line up one way.😄
Thanks
Thanks
No problem
Thanks
