Hi there i seem to be having some problem lactating my mass air sensor on my 1998 volvo v70 i have take the air box of and taken out the air temp sensor thinking that it was the mass air sensor it seems to me there is know other wire connection on there other then that, so where is the mass air sensor located, all the info i have shows that it connected between the air box and the hose but not on my car can anyone help ,looking at the pictures the sensor has quit a thick wire with a five or a six pin plug on it so must be there some where , any help would be very much appreciated Ged

Might be ME7 on a 98 plate but the maf would still be in the same location. I didn't think the older cars had a temp sensor on the inlet?

I think the naturally aspirated cars did, but even so should still have a MAF in the same place.

M4.4 has a inlet air temp sensor.

No MAF on NA 10 valve cars...

Does your hose to air box look like this?

Yes thats the one just like that so where is it has this engine got one many thanks everyone for your help Ged

What is your engine code...if the fourth number is a '2' (like B5252S) your car won't have a MAF

Engine code can be found from VIN

Looks likes like my engine has not got one, so what have i got instead as the engine tick over is behaving like it is my M A S,just a point i was thinking of cleaning the throttle housing next could this be my problem, many thanks for valued help, Ged

If the engine code is B5252S, you will have Fenix 5.2 system so just a MAP and intake air temp sensor, no MAF.

You can make an LED code reader for your car - might help you diagnose the problem

Could also be basic stuff like plugs, leads, idle control valve
