I have nothing to lose by trying the sensor out.They're free (2 of them),and if it doesn't work,so be it.Thanks TC50 for the input.By the way,what size injectors does that I-6 use?

I honestly don't know the 300 inj size, guessing they were 19lb like the 4.6...


I should qualify the post, the Merc ran fine on the 6cyl meter with no issues... Gas mileage was same and no CEL... Eventually I found out about dirty MAF sensors, so I cleaned the orig and reinst it... Again no difference...

From what I've noticed, as far as the meter itself is concerned as long as two engines share the same size injector, you can swap the sensors regardless of # of cylinders.  The problem lies in the housing which in fact has it's own part#.  Some of those are interchangeable as well. 

According to the chart link I posted earlier the part # 85-2315 will work in A 5.0 Mustang for the years '89-'92, '93, and '95.  The one listed for '88 is part # 85-2310.  The one listed for '94-'95 has a diferent part# altogether.

I have no idea why the one year California only mass air would be different, but apparently it is (There is another thread on here that alludes to the fact the MAP/BAP sensor is different as well).

The '95 has the same part number as the earlier contemporary Fox versions so one can surmise these part#'s are for the sensors only.

My meter (not the sensor) is a 70mm piece,which,I think is a Mustang Cobra meter.No promises there.I bought it here on the forum.

While all this has been goin on, guess what???

The friggin' MAF meter bit the big one on the '95 Bird(code 102)... Yes I tried cleaning it... Swapped to a meter from a '91 5.0 Stang... It's happy again... Actually runs better than ever now(remember I mentioned it was a dog?), guess the old one was some what out of calibration...

Sooooo,I still wonder (I haven't been to the boneyard yet,I'm working on that),if the Mass Air sensor from the taurus V-6 will run the 24# injectors without swapping the meter?I've got a couple of injector rebuild kits coming and I'll go ahead and get the injectors ready,then grab the sensors and see what happens....when I install the e303 as i stated before.I don't want to use the 19# injectors when I install the new cam.I think that may have confused a few here.I want to replace my 19# injectors I'm using now and swap IN the 24's.

If you mean std 3.0/3.8 Taurus, not likely... As stated meter must match injectors...

I'll grab the meters as well,and just see what can be done.I've seen some cut the  off of the airbox side and mount it like a Fox Stang meter.

V6 and V8 are totally different, use the housing, not the sensor. My 2 cents and my experiance,

Probably in most instances, but a 300cu in(4.9L) is larger than a 4.6, so in my case it worked... I'm sure amount of air flow through the engine(thus size injector used)has more to do with matching, than the number of cylinders...

# of cylinders has nothing to do with the sensor.  It's injector size.  The Taurus sensor will work with your 19's Vin, but not your 24's.  What size injectors do SuperCoupes have?  24's or 30's?  I can't remember.

Oh.....Thought it had 19's:toilet:

Do it up then.  Can you get a pic of the Taurus MAF meter housing as well?

As soon as I get over this freakin sinus infection,I'll go to the boneyard and grab the sensors and housings.Pics folowing.I hope to have them Wednesday morning.

If all this works out,it may be pretty useful for a cheap 24# injector upgrade.Although,you'll have to hit two Taurus's.
