Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right mass air flow sensor for a 1996 Ford F-150 with the 6-cylinder 4.9L, V8 5.0L or 5.8L engine?
Yes, A1 CARDONE 74-9525 is listed for the 1996 Ford F-150 6-cylinder 4.9L, V8 5.0L or 5.8L. If your vehicle is not named on this page, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does this mass air flow sensor come with a wiring harness or mounting bracket?
No. The box holds the mass air flow sensor and an instruction sheet; the mounting hardware, bracket and wiring harness are not included.
What does the re-soldering on this A1 CARDONE mass air flow sensor do?
A1 CARDONE 74-9525 has 100% of its critical components re-soldered, which is intended to give solid electrical connections and avoid intermittent failures. Each unit is also tested on automated computer equipment.
What size is the outlet connection on this mass air flow sensor?
The outlet connection diameter is 80.85 mm (3.3 in). The sensor mounts with four mounting holes and a hose clamp, and has one rectangular connector with four male pin terminals.
How do I check whether a mass air flow sensor is bad?
With the engine off and cool, look at the sensor element for damage or a burnt smell, and have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes. Cracked circuit boards, burnt sensing elements and poor solder joints are common causes of failure.
