mass air flow sensor.(maf) this is the sensor for air entering engine, it is just before throttle body in hose from air cleaner. make sure air filter is clean, remove hose to get at sensor.take sensor off of vehicle, be careful not to touch the fine wires in side of it. put on a clean cloth and spray element with maf sensor spray. you can buy the spray at any auto parts store. becarefull not to touch sensor with anything, cause they cost a lot to change. by cleaning sensor you can improve mileage, a better idle, and controls surgeing. I did this to my 3.1, and it helped a lot.
