How do you test the MAF on 1996 Ford Aspire?

To test the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on a 1996 Ford Aspire, you can use a multimeter to check the voltage output. First, locate the MAF sensor on the intake manifold, disconnect the electrical connector, and turn the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine. Measure the voltage on the MAF signal wire while gently shaking the sensor; a healthy MAF should show a voltage that varies in response to airflow. Additionally, you can perform a visual inspection for any signs of damage or dirt that could affect its performance.
