Hello everyone, im purchasing a mass air flow sensor from a junkyard in El Paso, TX. And wanted to know if a 94 v6 air flow sensor is the same part number? What years work with the toyota V6? I own a 1990 toyota 4x4 SR5 V6, I am barely repairing my truck, a diagnosed one of my problems as MAFS. Any pics bc it looks the same? I dont want to waste money!!!..no refunds..thank you........

they are the same the toy number should be 22250-65010 but all used parts are not always good. What problem are you trying to fix?

I scrounged Pick-n-Pull for the AFM to fit my '89 4Rnr 3VZE. I found that the AFM from a Corolla 4A-GE (16 Valve) had the same specs (ohms) that the 4Rnr FSM called for. Minus the ducting, they were physically identical. This part has performed flawlessly for about 5 years. Part # 22250-74120.

Pick-n-Pull has a pretty cool "30 day exchange for credit voucher" policy on all parts, but a MAS/AFM part costs about $30 now days, still a good deal if you need one.

Your truck doesn't use a mass air flow sensor (MAF) those came along around 1996, it uses a vane or volume air flow meter (VAFM) or (AFM for short).

really? The part that attaches to where the air filter is located it looks like it? ....are you sure?
Mass Air flow Meter...same thing ?

You're just calling it by the wrong name, a MAF is competely different type of air measuring device. A MAF measures air flow by using a hot wire (the more air that flows by the hot wire the cooler the wire gets) and the estimate of air flow is by mass. A VAFM measures air flow by a spring loaded flap door (the more air that flows by the wider the door is pushed open) and the estimate of air flow is made by volume.

Sorry I can't help with the part #, but I thought it might at least help if you called it by the right name, especially if you're dealing with salvage yards.

You're welcome, I did a search on Car-part.com for a 90 V6 air flow meter and they list everything from 89-95 as being a fit, so that's usually a good indicator the part number didn't change for those years.
