Product Details

Cardone’s Mass Air Flow Sensor line focuses on accurate airflow signal delivery to the engine control system. Part number 86-9509 is built to maintain strict output tolerances so the vehicle computer receives the correct airflow data for fuel and drivability control. This makes it a practical replacement for Ford Thunderbird and Ford Mustang models that need a reliable MAF sensor to restore proper engine operation.

This part cross-references Ford AFH7002 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Resolve

• Hesitation during acceleration
• Stalling or intermittent engine operation
• Poor fuel economy
• Poor engine performance
• Incorrect airflow signal readings from a failing sensor

Installation Notes

Before installing the replacement sensor, inspect the air filter, intake tract, connectors, and wiring for dirt, debris, looseness, or damage. Moisture intrusion, cracked ducts, shorted wiring, relay over-voltage, and intake obstructions can contribute to sensor failure and should be corrected first. Verify the sensor element and related wiring are clean and undamaged, then confirm proper fitment for your Ford Thunderbird or Ford Mustang application.

Quality Assurance

Each module is 100% tested with automated computer test equipment to verify functionality and reliability. Cardone Engineered Technology is used to help the sensor maintain OE-style output behavior and consistent scan tool readings under a broad range of operating conditions.
