Where is the massive air flow sensor for a 1994 ford 5.8 engine located?

The 1994 Ford 5.8L engine (a 351 Windsor) doesn't have a "massive airflow sensor" in the same way that later electronic fuel injection systems do with a large, single MAF sensor. Instead, it uses a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor which is much smaller and less visually prominent than the large MAF sensors found on later vehicles.

The TPS is located on the throttle body. The MAF sensor is typically located in the air intake tube, somewhere between the air filter housing and the throttle body. It's a smaller, usually rectangular sensor. You'll likely need to trace the air intake tube from the air filter to find it.

Because it's a smaller component than the large MAF sensors you might be thinking of, it's often overlooked. Look carefully at the air intake system for a small sensor with wiring attached. A repair manual or online diagrams specific to a 1994 Ford 5.8L will greatly assist in its precise location.
