THUNDERMINGO Mass Air Flow Sensor for Toyota Pickup & 4Runner V6 3.0L (1988–1995) — Direct-Fit Replacement 22250-65010

THUNDERMINGO Mass Air Flow Sensor 22250-65010 is a direct-fit replacement MAF for Toyota Pickup and 4Runner V6 3.0L (1988–1995) that measures incoming air to help your engine management system restore proper air/fuel calculations.

This THUNDERMINGO replacement MAF sensor is designed to match the original specifications for Toyota Pickup and 4Runner V6 3.0L models from 1988 through 1995. It replaces OEM numbers like 22250-65010, 197100-2920 and related cross-references. The unit installs in the intake tract between the air filter and the throttle body and uses a heated sensing element to detect the volume of air entering the engine so the ECU can adjust fueling accordingly.

How do I know this is the right MAF for my vehicle?

Confirm fitment by matching part numbers and engine size: this sensor fits V6 3.0L engines only and is not compatible with 2.4L models. Always compare the connector shape, mounting points, and OEM reference numbers to your existing sensor before purchase.

• Replaces part numbers: 22250-65010, 197100-2920, 197100-4090, B6S7 13 210A
• Fitment: Toyota Pickup & 4Runner 1988–1995, V6 3.0L
• Not compatible with 2.4L engines—verify engine displacement
• Match connector and mounting configuration to your original unit

What are the basic steps to test and troubleshoot the MAF sensor?

Begin with a visual inspection: check the harness and connector for corrosion, bent pins, or frayed wiring. If the sensor or wiring looks intact, clear stored fault codes and cycle power as a simple reset; if codes return, further electrical testing or replacement is warranted.

• Locate unit between air filter and intake manifold
• Inspect cable connector and pins for integrity
• Clear fault codes, then perform three 3-minute power cycles
• Follow further diagnostic steps if faults persist

Will I get installation instructions with this part?

The product is supplied as shown—no printed installation manual is included. For safe and correct fitting, we recommend using trusted installation videos or a service manual, or having a trained technician perform the replacement if you’re unsure.

• Item sold as pictured; no installation guide included
• Search reputable online videos or OEM manuals for procedure
• If uncertain, consult a professional mechanic

What should I expect after installing the new MAF sensor?

Once installed and any fault codes reset, your vehicle’s ECU should receive accurate airflow data, which helps restore correct fuel trim and idle. If previous symptoms were MAF-related, you may notice improved idle stability and throttle response; if problems remain, continue diagnostics on fuel, ignition, or vacuum systems.

• Reset codes after installation for accurate ECU adaptation
• Possible improvements in idle, throttle response, and drivability
• Persistent issues may require further engine diagnostics

Who is this for: This THUNDERMINGO MAF sensor is intended for owners and mechanics of Toyota Pickup and 4Runner vehicles powered by the V6 3.0L engine from 1988–1995 who need a direct-fit replacement for worn or faulty mass air flow sensors. It’s suitable for DIY installers with basic mechanical skills who will verify fitment and follow standard installation procedures, as well as shops seeking a cost-effective OEM-replacement part. If you are replacing a 2.4L engine MAF, or cannot verify the original part number and connector, consult a specialist before buying.
