Mass air flow sensor?

I have searched this here but got no hits.

I have an E-250 with the 5.4 triton. I need to know if this thing has a mass airflow sensor? I know I could just look but my Father has it right now and he said its acting up. I know on the old wire type MAFS's you can take a Cue tip with chemtool on it and clean the wire which will make it run a lot better than with a dirty one. I hope this is the case with my Van!

Should be on the intake right before the throttle body, a square deal held in with weird Torx screws

Thanks. Is this one cleanable or will I need to replace it? This van is acting up pretty bad. Its not the 02 or tps. Its got this sputtering problem. Not always either. I've been using that crappy 10% ethanol gas but recently went back to the real stuff. Will this help too? These may seem like noob questions but I don't know this new electronic stuff. I like carbs!!!!

I've heard it is not a good idea to touch the wire. I use a MAFS cleaner .

I used electric motor cleaner on mine (2002 F250 5.4), and it seemed to do the trick. The pressure from the can seemed to be enough for mine. It had thrown the check engine light.

Good luck.
