Dumb question...Where IS the MAF sensor?

spaniard · 05-08-2009, 03:49 AM

I want to have a go at cleaning the MAF sensor on my 2001 Forester...It is a 2-litre normally aspirated car with manual transmission. Does anyone have a photo or diagram of the location of the sensor and throttle body in general..?!! There are three connectors onto the throttle body and I don't want to go undoing things at random....Plus it would be nice to know what each plug is for.

You don't have one. I think they were MAP based.

Look there, there is a link on that page that shows the difference between an MAF and MAP system.

Well I did say it was a dumb question, didn't I....It looks like you are right...the intake system is all under the bonnet,which indicates a MAP system. So I guess I can forget cleaning the MAF sensor ! Thanks !
Do you know where there are any diagrams or pictures that show the throttle body and help me identify what the three connectors are for?
