94/95 MAF install completed!

  • Sponsors (?)


A quick check of the auto parts catalogs show that they all use the same housing and sensor. Looks like a one to one swap.

1995-94 Mustang 3.8L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1994-92 Crown Victoria 4.6L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1995-94 Mustang, Mustang Cobra 5.0L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1994-92 Town Car 4.6L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
1994-92 Grand Marquis 4.6L F2VF-12B579-A2A,
Evidently the –A1A, -A2A, AA, etc. on the end of the part number is a minor variant that did not change the operating specs. You should be able to ignore it and have everything work good.

All the above will interchange without any modifications


I picked up 2 SN95 Meters 1 from a 94 Stang and the other from a 95. The Sensors share the same P/N, but the 1995 has a slightly different Housing and it also had the screen with it. The 94 say Ford on it and is cast kind of rough, the 95 is cast pretty smooth and it says Japan on it, they both are Original because the Paint Match Marks are still in place on the Tamper Proof Screws
 
I'm pretty sure that they all came from the factory with the screen. But, removing the screen was, and still is, a common mod. People should leave the screen in since it does help to smooth the air flow, and therefore results in more accurate metering. But, I'll admit, I rarely run a MAF with a screen.
 
Got it installed tonight and was only able to take it out for about 10 Minutes. Down in the Low Revs the car felt stronger, but there is a long steep hill about 1 1/2 Long and I usually cruise right up it in 5th gear and the car is not even trying, coming up the hill with the SN95 Meter did not feel as strong as it did Stock. I feel like I gained down low but lost some in the Mids, The Computer might need some more time to recognize the Meter too and I need to try the hill again when I am not in a rush.
 
I disconnected the Battery before Removing the Old Meter and Installing the New Meter so it could learn the new one as soon as I started the car, I took it for a short trip today and it felt a little better coming up the hill.
 
Here's some pics of the MAF and adapter installed.

I've never looked at one of those live and in person, so forgive if it's
a stupid question - I'm just looking at the pic:

Would it be possible just to cut off the flange and slip the hose onto
the MAF? The pic makes it look like there's enuf length.

Gee, too lazy to read though all of the posts, huh? :)

Yes, you can do that. You can either:

1) Use paper towels and stuff the **** out of the front/back of the MAF to prevent shavings from getting into the sensor.

2) Better yet, remove the sensor, cut the flange, smooth with sandpaper, clean completely with Acetone, put sensor back in, *carefully slide hose over the MAF body, clamp the hose, do a dance, get a coke, vote for Paris Hilton for President, and then you're all set! :)

anyone have pictures of the 94/95 maf with the flange cut off?


Here is a Pic of one with the Flange and the other with the Flange cut off.

As impressive as you think your easy find was none of those adapters will fit the MAF from a 94/95 Mustang. :notnice: The inlet is way too big for the Mustangs air filter hose and the bolt holes don't even come close to being right. Been there, tried that.

I have a CAI intake and no fender-well so my filter would get wet when it rained so I picked up a adapter for my MAf so that when it rained i would put a filter under the hood so it wont get wet. The adapter is from spectre part # 8145 it is described as Maf 4in small Ford adapter . The only problem is I needed a Filter with a 4 in inlet but thankfully I had a K&N with that inlet
