• Description:

  The mass air flow sensor on a 2004-2012 Ford Explorer is a device that keeps track of the air flow and density that goes into the vehicle's combustion chamber. The mass air flow sensor, or MAF, also helps to maintain the proper air to fuel ratio. Because of this function, this sensor is vitally important to the performance of the engine. Any damage or failure of this device will require urgent replacement.

  If your car's mass air flow sensor malfunctions, the check engine light will usually turn on. Whenever you see this light, get the computer in your vehicle checked right away, as many issues can cause this light to turn on. A bad MAF can lead to many engine problems, such as poor gas mileage, stalls, pinging and knocking. These problems usually occur before the check engine light comes on. Occasionally, MAF problems are caused by dirt particles building up on the sensor. In this case, cleaning the MAF will solve the issue.

  If you or your mechanic determine that your mass air flow sensor must be replaced. Be sure to replace it with a genuine Ford OEM part. Only genuine Ford parts can guarantee the best fit and proper operation of your Ford Explorer. Visit Blue Springs Ford Parts online to place an order or call them at 800-248-7760.
