We inspect the engine air filter, remove it from the airbox, check the housing seal and latches, and install a new OEM-spec Motorcraft filter in the correct orientation. We visually inspect the intake ducting and mass airflow (MAF) sensor area, ensuring there are no loose clamps or debris that could affect readings.
