• Q: How to replace the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor and Mass Air Flow Sensor on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: To replace the mass airflow sensor/intake manifold temperature sensor, one should first disconnect mass air flow (MAF)/ intake manifold temperature (IMT) sensor modifications from the electrical connector, and then remove the maf/imt sensor screws. Treat the maf sensor with care so that it does not drop and therefore get damaged and also ensuring that the screen on the air inlet end of the maf is not damaged. Do not touch sensing elements and do not make them come into contact with solvents and lubricants; upgeniere it with a some small amount of soap based solution to help install it. Next, gently pry out the maf/imt sensor from the air cleaner housing duct and dispose of the old maf/imt sensor gasket. For installation, first put on a new maf/imt sensor gasket and then carefully install the maf/imt sensor into the air cleaner housing duct. Install maf/imt sensor screws and fasten them by turning them to 4 nm (35 lb in). Turn the maf/imt sensor electrical connector.
