Where is the air flow sensor on a 2002 Taurus located?

The air flow sensor, or mass air flow (MAF) sensor, on a 2002 Ford Taurus is typically located in the air intake duct between the air filter box and the throttle body. It is usually mounted on the intake tube and can be identified by its electrical connector and the housing that contains the sensing element. To access it, you may need to remove the air intake duct or the air filter box.
