Need help to find MAF Sensor on 2005 Toyota Hiace 2KD FTV auto diesel





 I have a 2005 Toyota HiAce 2KD-FTV auto diesel. I have been getting lost of power, I change the air filter, work well for a few hours and then the problem return, I was told my MAF sensor may need cleaning as I took too long to replace filter. 
I have been searching for the location on my vehicle for MaF sensor. Please don't say it by the airfilter, because I have search and can't find,
No friend, it isn't by the air filter. It's the unit that is connected to the intake and the air filter flex hose goes to it. This MAF is mass air flow, and there is a wire across the venture of the unit on the inside. First, purchase a can of Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner from an auto parts store, CRC makes this spray cleaner made special for this sensor. The sensor IS the wire that runs across the venture of the MAF. Take the MAF unit off the manifold and air line from the filter, it just bolts on, keep your fingers and anything else away from the sensor, and spray it real good with the MAF Sensor cleaner. Spray the venture also to clean the bore of the unit. Put it back together and if, in fact this MAF sensor was the problem, the cleaner spray will have taken care of the situation.
the fuel filter should be located just below to the right of the air filter box. this is in the right side of the engine compartment. to change the fuel filter you must remove the air filter box. the top fitting is a banjo fitting and the bottom fitting is a standard screw in flared fitting. there are so many things that can cause rough idle, can you give more information? did the car recently overheat? is there any fluids leaking on the engine? are you getting any smoke or steam from the exhaust? when checking for steam, remember to wait until the engine has run for awhile as condensation can build up in your exhaust during the night. if you cannot tell if it is smoke or steam, hold a blank sheet of paper behind the tail pipe, if it is oil smoke, then oil dots will show up on the paper.

some things you can do and check;
check the spark plug wires, make sure they are tightly connected and not chaffed, broken or burnt.
check your pcv valve for excessive oil or clogging, (it will be in a rubber housing or hose leading from your valve cover to your throttle body/carburetor)
i don't know the engine setup in that model, but if you have a distributor cap, check it for cracks and wear, also check the rotary cap.
check all rubber vacuum hoses on the engine for cracking.
if you can afford it, change the spark plugs, plug wires, rotor and rotary cap, these parts all need to be changed over time and your car is getting older now. Hi Ajay, thank you for leaving a question. You can find the answer about where to find your IU number through here: <https://www.motorist.sg/ask-motorists/2090/how-to-find-my-car-iu-number> From Kitchen Aid they only come on a new motor. I am a Kitchen Aid service agent and I remove them from burnt out motors and keep them. Look for a service agent near you and see if they can help you out. I have no idea where you are, I'm in New Zealand. the clutch might be smelly, but is it slipping or doing anything else untoward. clutches are a regularly reported problem on one-tonne utes, which suggests most are borderline in capacity. if there is a problem with the functioning of the clutch, approach mazda again about replacing it. if there isn't a problem think about replacing the clutch with a heavy-duty one that's more capable of handling your towing needs. here is the ftc (federal trade commission's) complaint form-

also, the dept. of transportation

use this

online vehicle owner's questionnaire to report safety or operational defects to the national highway transportation safety administration.

you can also call the dot auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236) or 1-800-424-9393 and a nhtsa representative will record your report.

search for existing defect reports

and consider the better business bureau-

and the center for auto safety
http://www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=539&scid=98
has some great information. ford does have the following options available-

contact ford: call ford's customer assistance center at 800-392-3673 to register a complaint. if they cannot resolve your complaint, ask for an arbitration package for the dispute settlement board (see below).

dispute settlement board: this is ford's arbitration program for reimbursement of repairs or buyback of a lemon. if you get a bad decision, you can reject it and take ford to court. if you accept it, ford must abide. both the consumer and ford submit comments and records to the board by mail. in most cases, the board will not hear a complaint outside the express warranty - the length of which varies for the powertrain, emissions & other components. important: the consumer is allowed to rebutt ford's comments. this can improve your chances and you should take advantage. if you have not received a dispute settlement board arbitration package from ford customer assistance center, write to dispute settlement board, po box 5120, southfield mi 48086-5120.

good luck to you! general procedure: make sure the engine is cool. loosen hose clamp where lower radiator hose attaches to engine - pull forward. place clean pan under hose to catch coolant that might spill out. pull hose off. catch coolant in pan. remove bolts on the fitting that the hose was attached to. remove gasket. remove thermostat (note how it was positioned and which side was facing out before removing -- there may be an alignment notch). install the new thermostat (the way the original was sitting,with the little "barbell" at 12:00) and gasket. re-attach hose fitting w/bolts. re-attach hose and clamp. put coolant that spilled out back in radiator. start engine and allow to warm up and check for leaks. note - if you need to remove your alternator so as to access the nuts holding the thermostat cover remember to disconnect battery before removing the alternator leads to prevent shorting. good post on parts location and repair procedure. only thing i'd like to add is antifreeze has a limited life before it loses it's ph balance and will turn acidic or base, either one will cause corrosion in the cooling system. loss of additives can also cause the cooling system to start acting as a ground conductor which will damage the cooling system. there are many different ideas on when to change, i try to change mine every 3 years or 24k miles. if you want there are test strips to check ph balance, protection temp and phosphate levels (prevent oxygen molecules from collecting around cylinder liners and etching them - usually more problematic on diesels). hth, dave I'm not sure on your truck but mine has relays. If you do have a relay getting hot then you need to check all your wiring from the headlights back. Check the switch also. take this to a professional that can properly diagnose this problem, this approach you're taking is going to cause more problems and cost much more than if the problem was diagnosed prior to replacing parts.
