I've been having problems with the MAF sensor in my 2000 Contour.I am now on the third one in six weeks.The dealership tech was scratching his head over the problem,so he contacted the Ford help desk.Ford told him that there has been a MAF sensor revision.The Alumumin one has been replaced with a plastic one.Has anyone ever heard of a plastic MAF sensor.I never have.The car seems to run fine,and the CEL hasn't come on again(well it's only been fixed for a day).

haven't heard of that one yet. I know SVO made a plastic one, just read about it the other day.............not that this helps any. I would think if you keep going thru MAFs that something is killing the MAFs. What is doing it, now that is the question.......

2000 are plastic, I wondered the same thing when I first popped the hood on mine, suppose to be something dealing with the heat restraing on it. God only knows, thats the rumor from CEG's, they also think the A/C will cool down your intake, and make you car go faster.

God only knows!:rolleyes:
