- If your car / truck will not run or idle. This is a 1994 Ford F150 XL with a 4.9 inline V6. Most vehicles work the same way. research which you have MAP sensor or Mass Air Flow Sensor.
I got my MAP sensor cheap off

I'm sitting in my 97 F150 tapping the gas constantly then see you start doing the same and hallelujah I may have finally found a video describing my problem.
I can't imagine a more perfect instructional video. Minimum talking then you showed us what might be wrong, where the parts are located and how to remove, replace or clean the parts. Great work. UPdate - I see on another video where they had the same symptoms and other garages couldn't fix the problem. The mechanic hooked up his oscilloscope and checked waveforms et al and narrowed the problem down to the MAP sensor, too. Now I'm not sure if it was the original MAP sensor or an aftermarket one but when the mechanic pulled it out water poured into his hand. Sure enough, the back cover could pop right off and there didn't appear to be any gasket. The mechanic speculated that the water may have gotten into the MAP sensor if they power washed the engine compartment or maybe it just ran down the windshield - under the hood - and on top of the MAP sensor. Interesting but something to keep in mind if anybody's F150 starts bucking and snorting.
Thank you! I appreciate it. Take care.
That rubber seal at back of firewall needs to be in good shape as well or water can run off the cowl and down the back of the firewall causing issues. Thx for this vid
Hi Brian, Thank you for your video. I got my truck fixed. There should be rewards in heaven for people like you! Thank you!
Allen Bryant - June 2020
My 1990 F150 would not stay running unless I kept pumping the throttle, Very similar to your video. I then changed the MAP sensor as you did and my problem is solved.. Thanks so much for making this video.
Couldn't get my 88 f250 to run, and after throwing sever parts at it, to no avail, I saw this video, and gave the map sensor a shot. As soon as we plugged the new one in, the truck came back to life! Thanks a ton man
Pj Mihalko - so glad it worked for you! No better feeling than finding that broken part... Take care man!
Brian Ealy thanks man, you too!
A bad MAP sensor can cause rich mixtures. If your plugs are fouled, replace the MAP sensor. Run the engine at fast idle to let the engine clear out the rich mixture.
@@hankbridges5055 TRUE that, Mr. Hank. Have a half-dozen new sparkers on hand if you've put off a tune up or fatally fouled the tips on your plugs. And yeppers - no harm in letting the system get to operating temps for a while to see if the lean mixture will effectively clean the older plugs.
I never comment on videos, but I've been going crazy for +1 year trying to fix my 1988 4.9. Replaced fuel parts, coil and wires, temp sensor.... FINALLY the MAP sensor! Thanks buddy!!!
Lauren Baier - Glad it worked for you!! Thanks,... take care!
I love how you whip through a lot of great content in a minimum amount of time! Lots of CZcams guys can’t seem to figure out how to do that. Thank you!
Brian,
Just a note to thank you for your no nonsense advice and straight shooting expertise. My old F150 has been ressurrected and I take 10% credit. 90 goes to you.
Yes, I subscribed.
MAF sensor's are used in all states , I have one on a 01 Ford Taurus SEL, I got in New Mexico , and got another 04 Taurus SEL 3.0L in Tennessee , I know this video was done while back but with the OBD2 implemented it's a better sensor and does more functions than a MAP sensor could handle.
Thanks for the link! MAP sensor for my 88 f150 5.0 was $87 at my local autozone
I don’t normally comment but I felt the need to thank you. I’ve had idle problems in 88 f-150 4.9l for 2 years and I just put the MAP sensor in and it seems to have fixed the problem thanks a million.
xxTANK1992xx - No problem man. Hope it holds out to be your end fix. Very much appreciated... Take care!
I have 94 f150 when I take off in od its very sluggish tell I put in 2ed gear auto transmission it just started doing that ,what is cause of it ?? I wach all of your videos haven't found my problem yet looking forward to more of your videos thank u bro .
@@kentrymason5566 I have 93 5.0 mine wants to die when I stop at stop lights or sometimes stop signs and today it's actually dying and acting like the battery is dead think it's solenoid or stater going to change both changed brake booster for idle problem was told that had to do with vacuum but didn't seem to help will try map sensor
@@davidrussell789 Did the MAP sensor replacement fix the issue?
@@2004Bishop didn't try that ended up just yesterday plugging off my charcoal box at the engine and seemed to run better on my way to work this morning. Didn't want to die but now that I say this it will die on my way home. Also adjusted idle to about 1000 rpm.
Great videos. You get right to the point. No music and no graphics.
Thank you Brian!!! Always LOVE your videos! You've been VERY helpful for my fleet of F-150's! I appreciate you!
Patrick PhippsPA - thanks man... 🙏 nothing better than an old truck, and hand tools to keep em going. Take care!
Brian does a nice job of right to the point explanation. His video is clear.
Thanks so much, the MAP sensor seemed to have been the culprit on my F-150. Subscribed!
AWESOME ... I have an 86 f150 4x4 5.0 .... THIS FIXED MY TRUCK . I cleaned out the IACB and runs great . thanks
Great vid. I have the same truck, same color
great video/direct and to the point the way it should be...
harold durant - thanks, much appreciated!
brother thank you very much I have been looking for the problem of my f 350 ford for more than a year and your video helped me to find the problem Thank you and from Puerto Rico we send you a big hug brother
One of the best videos out there. Nice job!!!
Great video! Easy explanations and visuals! Lots of those older f150 around and this video will be of great help.
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Hoping this is what's going on with my truck, ordered a new MAP sensor today. Thanks for making the video!
I’m saving this video to my favorites. I just bought a ‘96 F-150 with the 4.9L I-6. This may come in handy one day. Thanks for posting it!!
Much appreciated! Thanks!
@@BrianEaly dude I have a question I have a '91 F-150 5.0 liter every little bit randomly either it will randomly burn up the computer the ignition control module or rarely the coil do you have any ideas or does anybody have any ideas where I can look it sounds like a wire or ground or something but I have checked this thing thoroughly or a slice when they made the harness is worn out I just don't know where to go I'm looking at all the wires 15 minutes my mind is burn up no drugs included lmao jk seriously this is my only vehicle and I've been down for two weeks and my budget is hurting bad very bad so any help anybody can give me crazy appreciated I don't even care if it's absolutely wrong thankyou guys
Ty. For your video sure did help me!, replace the part ($48. Auto zone) today and it's running better than it was before or in awhile, thanks again! O'! 1990 e-150 4.9_ s6.
Richard DeLeon - no problem man... so glad it helped you... these are the kind of comments that make the videos so much fun to make. Take care buddy.
Love the chickens Mr. E. I'm so glad you are going over this I have every system of a bad map sensor plus when looked at it the silicone inside and where the pins meet silicone all of that had cracks around it with white looking corrosion under the pins where it meet. With that and this video I'm more and more convinced thats it.
I want to thank you for your help. Im not good with trucks and your video was simple and easy to understand i was amazed that i even didnt have a problem following and for that im grateful. You made proud to be American. Thanks again ,those chickens look good by the way . Lol!!!God bless us all.
Thanks for your advice. It fixed the problem on my truck ford 4.9l. Now it runs much better. .L.V . NV. 11-7-2019
Good video. I have a '96 F150 4.9 4x4 XLT. Subscribed!
Well done. Concise, fast information.
Great video, explains so much going to the parts house right now to get a map sensor
Dude...your vidios are exactly to the point.. No bs...thanks
Hey
Thanks a lot
That fixed my truck issue
On 1988 F150 4.9 w standard trans
👍
Great video. Bought a 1989 f150 for $300 bucks. Real rough idle. Replaced the sensor and voila. Idle is smooth and engine is strong. My check engine light also turned off.
Heck of a deal gor this monste4
Thanks for the video, especially the diagram, 90 bronco here 👍
I have a 93 Ford F150 with a 4.9 your video came in very handy thanks for the help
I like the help and them two gals at the end just made it even better nice video
very good vid. oem vacuum lines are prone to crack and leak causing similar problems idling and running.. good idea to check all vac lines and connectors too.
You the Man!!! Got a 94 f150 5.8L V8 Windsor. Kept dieing and stalling out. Replaced the fuel filter, same problem. Cleaned the IAC and map sensor like you said, no problems perfect idle at 900 to 1k rpm in park!!! Saved me $350 bucks. That what the local mech would have charged for labor
Thanks for watching and giving it a shot! Take care!!!
Dude you just fixed my F150. Tnx bro
great info. you helped me out a lot on my truck issues.
Also, a dirty/malfunctioning EGR valve will cause a rough idle. My f150 is a 1995 model, and I’m quite sure it has a mass airflow sensor, right after the air filter and before the throttle body. Don’t think it’s a California model either. Great video , love Dio
Thank you! I came back here to comment and say that in the 1 minute it took me to replace this it freaking worked. only recommendation, drive the truck before you assume it didn't fix it. lol
It's cold here, often. Mine would cold start to around 2200 rpm. I did not like! Rough on cold cylinders, etc. I made a restriction plate from alum flashing and too the iac port to about half sized hole. Sealant and install. Perfect. Seems just how I Like it. Doesn't have that high rev cold start.
Great video you did. Thanks
This video may have saved me BIG $$$. Thank you!
Thanks for the diagram that’s a HUGE help
Out standing for those who don't live with this stuff. God Bless.
getting my 89 F150 this week in Englend £3500 they still hold thei value here good video
so I just found out I might have a California truck. I'm currently in Alabama, military so not to be surprised but still I was looking for a map sensor i don't have.thank you for quick content, and information may have saved me some time
Good info and easy to follow. Thanks.
Your the bomb and thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
thanks for sharing, will do check the map sensor and the idler sensor.
Very good video straight to the point and accurate..thanks
your idler pulley squeaking at the end is a reminder of how i need to warranty mine that i just bought 6 months ago and squeaked ever since. why havent i returned it to autozone yet? idk. but its coming off tomorrow. thanks bud
Thank you very much Brian. This solved my problem. Although I did buy my sensor from Autozone for $42.00 cause I couldn't wait.
Nikola Tesla - thanks for watching! Much appreciated! Take care.
Awesome and detailed, this really helped me
Thanks, I have a 1990 F-150 5.0l XLT LARIAT with the same problem, then replace the MAP sensor and Voala!!! Works great again. 👍
i8 have a 1997 ford 250 was banging into gear and running rough i did what ya did works great..thanks man
Mine is banging into gear, every gear. You think its the mass air flow sensor? Strange!
Get a Actron CP9690 code tester. It'll check live, record, emissions test, it'll turn off the check engine light, it'll turn off the oil maintenance light, it checks transmission codes, ABS, SRS, and MORE!
Watching from Texas, good stuff man very helpful also watched the video on the fuel tank replacement that helped a lot as well!!! \M/
Thanks buddy! God bless 👍🏻🙏🏻
You make a good helpful video sir, thank you!
Bless you! I have an '89 and have had this issue since I bought it. I have to feed it gas to keep it going/rough idle/sluggish acceleration. I'm excited to try this fix, it is otherwise a great little truck and I love driving it. Thanks!
5.8ford v8 91ford bronco
Will a 5.8 run on the same brain
Five. 891 Ford bronco what the computer come inside from a five. Oh to a five. Eight motor on a 91 Ford bronco four-wheel-drive I’d like to know the answer

Phil Fox - awesome man.. glad it helped. Thanks for trying it and watching. Take care!
thank you .. just purchased 1993 Ford F150 standard need some tlc 4.9 in line 6 ..
Grate video right to the point, no extra bla,bla,bla. Thanks, in my case the cooling sensor was, tha problem, it wouldn't start right away, only cost me $20.00 thanks so much for your help. GOD BLESS YOU.
Pretty sweet video!!!!! Thanks.
Im late to the party but great content and Props for Dio at the End
Dude ! 94 F150 4.9 Info. on how to take care of my Idle. Sweet Truck. The chickens & Goats put it
over the Top. Thanks.
Great info.Thanks.
Thank you. This helped a ton!
Thank you for this information
Great vid brócoli congratulation
Good info. Many thanks
Thank you brother. It is helping me a lot :D
Great vid!
Good information i just had that problem with my truck so i will do that thanks
Awesome man thank you
Awesome intro with RJD. Nice chickens too.
Great video 👍
Liked your video, keep featuring the animals. I've been messing with one of these that nearly dies at idle when you first touch the gas. It's straight drive so it's very easy to choke off. Anyways, I found out today that the gasket between the throttle body and the rest of the intake was in terrible shape. If the truck has had a lot of air intake alterations and replaced sensors etc. this is worth a look. My truck is nearing 290,000 and the gasket was thin with bubbles that cracked when I touched them. Pieces could easily go in the motor, and it looks like air was definitely tunneling through the gasket. People with trucks under 100k had same problem on here. Replacement is a couple dollars at O'Really's, cheers.
Happened to me too! The bolts were loose and valve was bubbles up just like yours. Did you have a check engine light? Mine is 327. It’s still on but I haven’t driven 100 miles.
@@tope.sosanya no light that I can remember? 327k miles?
How's the MAP sensor holding up after 4 years? just curious how its working for such a cheap price. Awesome video.
I'm curious as well
Still work I'm wondering too
Fir that price you buy 3 problem solved duhhhh
New sub awesome vid!vary informative thank you
Seems to have fixed my rusty old 1995 f250 5.8. Check engine light is gone and driving a little better, hopefully it’ll continue with no issues! Thanks
Thanks for giving it a shot, hopefully she is good to go... best of luck to you! Take care.
Great video 📸😊 thanks
Awesome, I parked mine for a year or year and a half. Just got it out again and it has a rough idle, hope this works.
It's all gonna be good. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching!... take care.
Good job!
Great help. 1990 f150 5.0 I didnt have to buy a thing and spent less than an hour including watching and commenting! You should make a video on how to make good videos. Thanks
KROLICK - Thanks man... 🍺 really appreciate it! Take care!
I have been trying to figure this out for over a year! I no idea the MAP sensor was clear over on the fire wall! Thank you...I was just about to set this truck on fire-
Hell yeah. I think that’s what’s up with mine. 93 OBS inline 6
Thanksbrother ...I have the same problem in my truck.....
Thank you...you are the best!!
I love this guy
Love the 87-97 F-150
Thanks, this is saving me BIG.
Thanks for watching it, best of luck, take care man!
The only good thing I got out of this video, and was the music at the end of the video. because I'm a huge Rainbow fan. I have a 1989 Ford F250 4x4 with 5.8L 351W. and I've already done everything that was described in this video plus. I cleaned the idle air control valve and installed it with a new gasket. replaced the MAP sensor, replaced the EGR valve, replaced the TPS which requires the removal of the throttle body. and cleaned the throttle body, allthough there was a hell of lot of soot/carbon in the plenom. I cleaned the plenom as good as I could. but it was pretty much impossible to get it all out of there. and replaced the O2 sensor, and went through with the multi tester and made sure everything was within spec.. and now I'm certain that it runs worse than it did before. it idles way high and then way down low and constantly stalls. it gets horrible fuel mileage it's almost impossible to drive it the way it is? I have decided that I'm done working on the piece of shit. and I have decided that I'm done with Ford and their garbage. I'm going to look for something else to drive. and then I'm going to abandon the piece shit on the side of the road. enough is enough!!!!!!
thanks for the video
Thank you so much problem fixed brother.
Jon Harper - Awesome! Thanks for watching man, Take care.
Thanks cuz that help me so much couldn't find nothing much on this problem
Awesome thank you
Yep this is on the money !
Some f150s came with maf around the east coast not only California.
