I need the name of a tool.

I'm trying to remove the Mass Air Flow Sensor on my 2006 Z06 LS7. There are 2 screws that hold it in place. It appears to be a Tamper Proof Allen Wrench. It looks like it has 5 sides with the small hole. What is it?

    Does this Torx bit have 6 or 5 sides for the Z06 LS7?

How do I replace the mass air flow sensor on a 2001 expedition?

mass air flow sensor is located on the air intake duct right past the air filter, u need to release the two clamps that hold it in place. use either a 7 or 8mm socket, this would be in a 1/4 inch drive, or can also use a regular blade screwdriver, depending on clamp. after loosing clamps remove electrical wiring connector by depressing the release tab, push in first and then pull out. pull air intake hose off and remove sensor from air cleaner assembly.careful not to pull wires. but pull rubber grommet from housing so wires will pass through

My engine light is on, and its code P0171 (System too lean Bank 1). Its toyota corolla VE 200. How do i fix it ? I am looking for mass air flow in my car ? I dont know where it is located ?

Remove the two screws that hold the MAF on the intake near the air filter, go to an auto parts store or electronic supply place and get a can of spray electronic cleaner, spray the inside of the air flow sensor, you need to get it into the small opening where the platinum sensor wires are, they get coated with dust and other gunk and confuse the computer because it gets the wrong signals,clean the wires until the look shiny, reinstall it, you may be able to clear the check engine light by disconnecting the battery and waiting 10 seconds, also replace the air filter and you should be good to go. ------- Check fig:-- bcc2a69.gif

My check engine light came on in my 2006 ss cobalt again i had work on it at the dealer the said my mass air flow sensor was contaminated and now two and a half weeks later it came back on what should i do

Take it back until they fix the problem. This is the problem the dealer said it was, so let them have the hassle of figuring out why it's causing the mass flow sensor to test bad or be defective. My question is, Did they replace it in the first place or try to just clean it. You can buy a mass air flow cleaner from your local auto store and try cleaning yourself, which I think that may be the case they did.

Hyundai sonata 4 cyclinder touble code P0171

Sometimes the mass air flow sensor will become clogged with some miniscule particles of dust or whatever else. When you open up your hood somewhere near where the air filter box is, there will be a hose running from that to the engine, the mass air flow sensor should be somewhere in near there. They are easy to remove and should be held in place with a few screws. Make sure not to touch any of the electrical connectors on the inside or allow them to get dirty. I used mass air flow sensor cleaner from the local parts place but it is a bit pricey. There may be some alternative cleaners available that are not as expensive. Take the sensor to a relatively dust free area and spray it all over with the cleaner and allow to dry. At the same time under the hood where the sensor was spray that area as well. Once the sensor has dried out re-install it and you should notice an improvement. If the problem still persists you may need to change your spark plugs, or spark plug wires.
