deleating maf sensor?

[924runnerSR5]

i have a 92 sr5 v6. is it possiable to deleat the mass air flow sensor?

Don't think so. Everything I've heard is that the engine will not run without it.

Does the 3VZE even have a MAF? AFM perhaps?

the only way to run without a MAF is a Mass air flow simulator, they run about 1100$ from australia.
i dont know why you would need to get rid of it they are cheap to replace and easy to make cold air and snorkel kits with.

typically you cant run the motor w/o a MAF or AFS what ever the OEM calls them. there are 2 basic types out there... Speed density cars and Air Flow metered cars. The engine needs to either have a calibrated value of what air is entering the intake ( via a table inside the computer) or the Air flow sensor. Some newer (96+) cars can run in limp mode without the sensor, but early cars / truck can not. Just my $0.02

The maf reads the amount of air flowing into the intake so the right amount of fuel can be added. Don't know why you would want to get rid of it, performance and economy would go down the tubes.
