Mass air flow sensor problems

Mass air flow sensor problems My mass air flow sensor keeps getting wet and I can not figure out why. I thought it was because it was located on the bottom of the car but I dont think that is the case. Im wondering if it may have to do with the red and yellow round piece near it any help would be appreicated.

Your MAF sensor is getting wet because there is water in the intake box. There shouldn't be water in there. Somehow the box has gotten plugged with debris. There should be a hole where air is drawn into the box. This is should be low enough for any water to drain out. You will need to determine how the water is getting in to the filter box and what is making it build up in there. The red and yellow piece measures air restriction. It should show green. It also has a reset button; push to reset. Get the water situation cleared up and the MAF will stop getting wet. It should never get wet. This will cause it to read incorrectly and will effect the way the computer adjusts the air/fuel mixture. Fix your water problem and it will run properly. You'll need another MAF sensor; the one you have is ruined if it got wet.
