I might have a spare Ford 4 Wire MAF connector from a 95 Lincoln Mark VIII
airbox if you want it, that is if you feel like cutting and splicing a new
one in.

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.
