Product Details

Cardone’s Mass Air Flow Sensor line is focused on accurate airflow signal delivery to the engine control system. This unit is built to maintain output curves close to original equipment specifications, which helps support proper fuel and air calculations, stable idle quality, and dependable drivability. The aluminum housing and tested sensor design are intended for consistent operation across a broad range of environmental conditions. If you are replacing a failing MAF sensor on a 1992-1995 Ford Aerostar, 1992 Ford Ranger, 1992-1994 Ford Tempo, or 1992-1994 Mercury Topaz, this Cardone 86-9506 is a direct service part to compare against the original unit.

This part cross-references Ford AFH6001 for the same application.
