Where Is The Maf Sensor On 1996 Starlet Reflet X?

January 17, 2011

First of all, I'm new here and certainly new with Starlets. I bought a Starlet a month ago and now in the process of doing some maintenance even if the car seems to run fine.

The last item to check is the MAF sensor, however, I can't seem to locate it. My 1996 Starlet Reflet X had the 4EFE, 1331cc displacement engine. I have previously done a throttle body cleaning but didn't seem to notice any MAF sensor, I did notice the IAC valve below it though. My internet research wasn't helpful either. Thanks!

I think I got the question wrong. Further research tells me that 4eFE starlet may be using MAP sensors.

So where is the MAP sensor? Sorry for asking, I don't have a user manual yet. I did see a small plastic box with three wires coming from it and two air hoses connected to it and to the throttle body. It's also dangling from the flexible rubber tubing between the air filter box and throttle body. Is that it? or should I look somewhere else.

I also saw this probe looking thing, probably a sensor too, with two wires coming from it and the other end sticking inside the air filter box. What is it? thanks

The sensor in the air filter box is the air temp sensor. It is used with the MAP sensor to calculate the amount of air entering the engine.

You should include a picture. It is easier to show where the sensors are. Mostly the MAP sensors are placed at the torpedo wall in the center. It should be a thin vaccuum hose from the manifold to it and then some wires. I hope you will find it with this description.
