Mass Airflow Sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is integral to the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor assembly and cannot be serviced separately. Take care when handling the MAF/IAT sensor. Do not dent, puncture, or otherwise damage the Honeycell located at the air inlet end of the MAF/IAT sensor. Do not touch the sensing elements. Do not allow anything, including cleaning solvents and lubricants, to come in contact with the sensing elements. Use a small amount of a non-silicone based lubricant on the air duct only, to aid in the installation. Do not drop or roughly handle the MAF/IAT sensor.
