Ford ProbeThe Probe appeared in 1988 and lasted until 1997 in the United States. It was based on a series of futuristic concept cars of the early 1980s, the likes of which have been seen in films like Judge Dredd, Back to the Future Part II and Total Recall. It was a coupe based on the Mazda GD platform, and was powered by a 2.2 L SOHC I4 cylinder Mazda F2 engine.
Hey crew....just wandering if anyone has cleaned a Mass Airflow Sensor from their Probe. I have a 1996 GT 2.5L, all the signs are leading to the MAF..need to know if it's safe to clean it before buying a new one........P.S...does anyone know where to buy euro tail lights for a 96, I've been searching everywhere......Thanks
Don't know if anyone has responded to you yet...I own 2 ford probes, both of them had bad MAF sensors. I bought a new sensor($160) for one of the probes and the decided to clean the other one. You take the top 4 screws out of the MAF and pull the sensor out. There will be two little heat elements suspended by metal bars. Shoot these with some Carburetor Choke Cleaner and re-assemble the MAF. It fixed both of my bad MAF sensors!!! The small heat elements were just dirty! If it doesn't work, then the MAF heat elements are probably damaged and you will have to buy a new one, but if it does work you just saved yourself some money! Hope this helps.
