Drivers may notice the engine idling roughly, hesitation to accelerate, and even engine stalling on the Ford Explorer V8.
The mass air flow sensor (MAF) is prone to fail, and commonly is diagnosed as the faulty component when these issues arise.
When the Check Engine Light illuminates, and the diagnosis is a failed MAF, it will require replacement to correct the issue.
Ensuring the air filter is installed properly, and sealed to the air filter housing, can help prevent MAF sensor issues.
