Stupid question # 1,000,001
2001 5.4

Started getting codes 0171 & 0174. Bought some CRC MAF cleaner, opened up intake path on engine side of air filter (this view is looking towards throttle body from air filter)
and the view of the MAF doesn't look like what I expected. Is this it? Was it removed and bypassed? Am I looking thru the wrong end of the telescope?????
Thanks
Rich

My phone is basic and can't bring up any pics. If you turn over the air filter tube, the maf sensor is underneath. It's got to be there or you'd run a code and run like garbage unless someone knew how to get around it. Doubtful. It's there with a big plug going to it.

Thanks Moose
I just took another look and found it. Now I know the first thing I looked at was a temp sensor. I sprayed the cleaner on the MAF sensor. Will have to wait and see if I still get the codes.
Is there a way I can delete this thread?
