============================
Ford Hot Wire MAF Sensor
..the MAF sensor sends either a variable voltage to the computer. The computer is programmed to accept this information when the vehicle is running in any mode. For example, idle rpm will send a low voltage and a high revving engine will send a high voltage to the computer along a specific wire (the MAF signal wire). If the signal is not present when it should be and within a programmed parameter, say high voltage at high throttle opening, the computer will set a code.
So, there are several things to consider whenever there is a code which points to the MAF sensor as the problem:
Derive the code(s) by the manufacturer's recommended method.
Look up the code(s) in a service manual
Read the explanation(s) carefully!
A code that indicates an out of range signal is
often an indication that another sensor, like the throttle position sensor is contradicting the MAF signal. The cause might be the other sensor or signal being out of adjustment or faulty.
A code that indicates a low MAF signal may be set by various problems.
These include the following:
A bad MAF sensor (internal fault)
Any wire on the MAF sensor circuit including:
The 12 volt feed wire which connects the MAF to the battery through the ignition switch
The MAF ground wire
The output wire
The MAF or computer connectors
The computer (EEC V)

MAF Servicing TSB 96-22-5 for 94-96 Source: by Ford via miesk5 at cc
an excerpt;
".... On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's 30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least two of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE:
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum) to reset KAM, or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone..."
