2003 ford taurus mass air flow sensor problems

I also see the Taurus 3.8 V6 lists a MAF as BWD part # 29083 (looks identical externally to 29080) and the MAF for Cardone part # 75-9502 (ditto size of 75-9505).

Common component failures are 100% replaced. All sensors have been 100% computer-tested using advanced test equipment. 'BWD uses upgraded components to improve circuit reliability and performance. and helps ensure that the unit will not cause hesitation or stalling.' Identifies anomalies between the 3 points tested by O.E. (based on the output voltage or frequency of unit) Tests 20 different points-85% more than O.E. This unit uses a 'Hot Film'-style MAF sensor that contains an extremely delicate sensing element that is easily contaminatedĬareful re-manufacturing process restores unit to OE specifications for OE performance Would be nice to pickup a few HP or MPG with the right one.B) just better than OEM, but has life warranty. The Cardone descrip seems to say it's more sophisticated (and costs more) but has only 1 yr warranty. I see 2 main aftermarket replacements (found at Advance, Checker and Auto Zone) as direct replacement and they are same # for Taurus 3.0 V6. I'd like some performance improvement if there's a better MAF sensor. Recently I got a check engine light and the code pulled was 159 for a possible MAF sensor failure. I know the Taurus 3.0 is the same in most respects, so you people should have experience with it.
