Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Mass airflow meter is located here, on top of the intake tube, aft of the air filter. To change it, I'll push in on this connector to unlock it. Lift it off, push that down.
There's a screw here and a screw here. It's a six millimeter, or it's a very small Phillips head, you can put in there. I'm going to use the six millimeter ratchet and remove it. Carefully take this one out and don’t lose the screw. Now, on the opposite corner is the other screw.
This is loose. The mass airflow sensor will come right out, straight out.
This is the mass airflow meter sensor. It is keyed on both sides and there's little pins that match on the air intake tube. It only goes in one way. So, this is the correct way. It will sit down nice and even. The screw holes line up. The tabs line up. The lock for the electrical connector’s towards the top. If you tried to put it in backwards, flip it over here, it's not going to fit right. It's close, but it's not quite there. It doesn't really want to line up with the tab. The screw hole doesn't line up. So, if you tried to struggle with this and force it, you could break it. It definitely, when it fits the right way, goes in real easily. You can also tell, there's a direction of flow, so the air is coming from the air filter. It's going into the engine, so it needs to go into this opening and that's how it reads the amount of air going into the engine. It's going to sit in, just like this.
I'll reinstall those screws. These are just really small screws. They're not going to take a lot of torque. I'll get this back one set up. They’re just little machine screws, little insrets in the air tube. You don't want to over tighten them. Get them in there with my fingers. I'm going to take the ratchet and just very lightly tighten them. Right where I feel them get tight, I'm just going to stop.
With those tightened up, I can put the connector back on. It'll click when it locks in place.
