MAF= Mass Air Flow sensor
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer, Ford Motor Company in this case.

PCM = ??

Best Guess = Power Control Module.

I've heard it mentioned when talking about transmissions, and was wonder it what it stood for/did.

PCM = Powertrain Control Module. It controls the engine and transmission.

I dont have a mustang I have a truck with a V10.I'm not embarassed about asking these questions. These guys that know what there talking about dont mind helping as long as its not stupid questions and that is a question I'm sure other people didnt know either. I have learned alot on this site and the ones that know what they are talking about say its good to ask questions if you dont know.

Johnno5 I have had this truck a couple of months I had a 94 psd and liked it.
but sold it and got this o4 v10 we have pulled some with it and just got back
from a 300 mile trip with trailer and horses. The truck done great and I average 15 mpg empty and it got around 11 mpg loaded. I like the truck just fine and would recomend one they seem to be a tough truck.
