165 MAF troubles

[David A. Cooley]

Fords use 2 hot wires and a big source of pinging is the wires getting a 
coating of crud on them...
What ford recomends (and I have used several times successfully) is 
electronic contact cleaner spray (non lubricant!!!) and you spray the 
elements thouroughly, let it sit 5 minutes and spray again.
