He decided to replace this with a modern mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead, and documented the process online.

Check to see if these wires have 12 volts at the mass air flow sensor using a multimeter. This voltage will only be applied for approximately 5 to 30 seconds after the engine has been shut off ...
