Gen 4 V-8 Owners...MAF HELP!

[natevans65]

From the picture you can see that 4 out of the 5 wires pulled out (by me) and I am not sure what the color is supposed to go next down the line. Could one of you V-8 (2004) owners look at your wiring and let me know the colors and which line up they should be in?

Second question: How do the wires secure into the harness?

Thanks in advance

Looks like the wires pulled out of the terminals inside the plug. They are crimped to the terminals. Yous could probably remove the old terminals from the plug but I doubt you could re-use them. Depending on which terminal they are, you could probably buy new ones. You'll have to pull out the blue weather proof seals 1st.
It may be easier to cut a plug out from a bone yard (if you can find one - another Toyota model may use the same connector?) & splice the wires together.

Definitely that. Why did you remove the wires?

I was removing the CAI tube from the throttle body and forgot to unplug the MAF sensor and when I pulled the tube off the TB...the wires yanked out. Didn't mean to do it but...there ya go.

twwezers to pull the blue rubber grommits out.

look inside to release a clip that holds the little metal pin.

pull it out and solder the new leads.
