When I bought my 97 ranger, it ideled very rough and would stall out, the guy i bought it from said it needed an MAF, as it was throwing codes saying it was bad. But i discovered that the maf was loose in the stock "air muffler", causing air to get past the MAF. So i went to the junkyard and got an intake tube, from an early 90's Thunderbird 3.8L coupe, and it fits great! the truck idels perefectly now an i am happy, i only payed 3 bucks for the intake tube

The stock-ish setup, missing the other half of the air muffler, causing air to get by the MAF, located inside the air muffler.

The intake tube was from an early 90's 3.8L thunderbird coupe

It already had a port to plug in the "Air Climate Sensor"

I used the stock piece that attaches to the MAF
