I've been trying to figure out what the problem be with my MAF sensor... everything I've read says that there is supposed to be a MAF Relay with a 5-pin connector that goes between the maf and ecm, and a 3 pin connector that goes directly to the maf. My setup has a 5-pin connector that goes straight to the maf sensor, and I was wondering if it is built in or actually separate. the system i'm using is from an 86 TA 5.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Yes one relay is a maf power relay and another is a maf Burn off relay which is when the car is off its sends a surge of power through that single wire you can see in the Maf and burns off any impurities or debris.

 

It should be something like this:

 

Thanks guys, hopefully I can get her runnin smoothly soon.
