Mass o2 Sensor
I'm in the middle of doing the usual tune-up tasks(99 F150 4.6l V8) and I heard tell that I can clean my Mass o2 sensor. Is this true and if so where the heck is it and how do I clean it???? Thanks. Great site by the way,

No such thing as a "Mass o2 sensor"
There are O2 sensors (4) that do not benefit from any cleaning.
There is a MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor that can be cleaned to the engine's benefit.
It is located on the intake tube and is installed in the machined aluminum housing.
A SEARCH using keywords "Clean MAF" should get you plenty of info.
