I have a ford taurus 02' diagnostic code p0102..wat s wrong

P0102 OBD-II Trouble Code - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Low Input

What does that mean?
Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit. A more technical description would be that the MAF circuit had lower than expected voltage (air flow). Other MAF sensor circuit DTC trouble codes are P0100, P0101, P0103, and P0104.

Symptoms
You will likely not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness.

Causes
A code P0102 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
* The MAF may be dirty or otherwise contaminated (Note: if you use a reusable oiled air filter, be careful not to apply too much oil or that can contaminate the MAF).
* The MAF sensor may be faulty
* The vehicle computer may be faulty (very rare)

Possible Solutions
The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:
* Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
* Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor.
* Take the MAF out and clean it using a spray cleaner such as brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. Be gentle with the sensor.
* Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
* Replace the MAF sensor.

Hope help with this (remember rated this post).

CODE P0102 MAF SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW INPUT.CHECK FOR LEAKS AT AIR OUTLET TUBE.CHECK FOR LOOSE TUBE CLAMPS NEAR THE MAF SENSOR.MAKE SURE MAF SENSOR WIRE CONNECTOR IS INTACT NOT LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED.IF ALL IS GOOD THE MASS AIR FLOW OR MAF SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE.

This is an error detected by the MAF sensor. This could either be a bad sensor or on the air that goes in the intake manifold. Inspect for tear or leaks in the intake that leads from the filter to the intake manifold.
