Ford F MAF Sensor Issue

Experiencing issues with my 2022 Ford F hybrid. It's got 58,430 km on it. Lately, I've noticed higher fuel consumption, and the engine occasionally stalls at idle. Plus, the check engine light is on, and there's some smoke when accelerating. I suspect it might be the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. Has anyone else had similar problems?

I had similar symptoms with my Ford F. The MAF sensor was the culprit. Check your air filter first; a dirty filter can sometimes cause the MAF sensor to malfunction. What's your air-fuel ratio looking like?

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll check the air filter. How did you pinpoint the MAF sensor as the definite cause? Did you use an OBD2 scanner, or did you take it to a shop for diagnostics?

I initially cleaned the MAF sensor, which helped briefly. However, the problem returned. I then used an OBD2 scanner which showed a MAF sensor error. I recommend taking your F to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis and replacement.

Appreciate the advice! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – it was the MAF sensor. The replacement cost me 365€. Runs like new now. Thanks again for your help!
