MAF Cleaning
Hi
If its anything like the 5.4L, open hood. Remove clamp from air filter and split the housing. As you are looking at it, filter on the right, maf on the left. There are 4 tabs you depress with a slot screw driver, then that round part that mates with the air filter will come out, disconnect the electrical connection, need a small hand to get back in there, then the round piece comes out. This is the link to the website, look in the right hand column, you will see the MAF article. http://www.fordf150.net/howto/. I did this with good results. Little more power, but I did loose a little in the MPG category, not running as lean as before.
