[Shotimes] MAF Connector no longer stays seated

[Carl Prochilo]

The MAF connector in my 92 keeps backing out.  It looks like the
plastic retention hardware has gotten tired.  I know there is a
pigtail replacement available from Ford, but for now I just used
some stiff wire and created a loop to hold the connector onto the
MAF.

Common problem?

The CEL code is a 157 for Gen 2s.  The connector just backs out a
little bit so that the contacts are intermittent, so it isn't
apparent unless you actually try to push it back in and you feel the
click.  But after driving a little bit it backs out again.  The
symptoms are that the car bucks or hesitates while driving.
