    Just swapped all 4 of my O-2 sensors and the check engine code tells me MAF. I lift the hood to see what’s up and the plug-in is nowhere to be found. Have no idea how this could’ve happened as I only recently started working on the truck myself. Wtf.
    On the hunt for a replacement

    See that box on the intake tube? Between the accordian section and the throttle body. Check under that. Thats where mine comes from.

    Whatever you do, don't buy an aftermarket replacement, and don't buy it on A-Zon or fleabay. (counterfeit risk is too damn high)

    You may find just cleaning it with MAF cleaner will clear stuff up. May be worth a shot.

    Again, not missing the actual sensor, missing the plug in harness for the sensor I believe.

    That MAF looks suspiciously shiny btw. Recently replaced?

    Ordered a new one before I popped the hood thinking it was simply the actual sensor that needed a swap. When I believe my issue is the missing plug-in, that I have yet to find tucked away anywhere.

    Summit Racing is the fastest at a good price, with great service.

    But honestly, if you have a dealership near you, go to https://parts.toyota.com, plug in your VIN into the Search, then search for MAF. You can order, buy, and pick it up at your local dealership.

    Hopefully it didn't get pulled into that serpentine belt and ripped out while driving. If its there you should be able to find it. Maybe pull the intake tube and see if it's under there.

    It's either hiding under the throttle body cover or that's for something else.

    These are from pictures I already had so not perfect. Looks like the harness goes down into another loom.

    It branches off this loom in your pic. The junction should be right where the X is under the air intake.
