Ok.. due to the fact of my quest of better gas milage after full tune-up and TB cleaning I decided to reground my MAF sensor after the positive feed back. So far this is what I did. PM with any questions.. but this should cover it.
1.) Tools:
10 awg wire. Approx 3 feet.From what I know you can use 10-16. I opt for 10 cause it was laying around collection dust.. plus its nice and think for good conduction.
Razor blade
2 male connectors
1 female connector
1 Round connector
Flathead screwdriver
Wire splicer/cutter

2.) Location of work space.

3.) Sensor

4.) Use screwdriver to push in sensor connector all the way into til it stops.

5.) Pull connector towards the firewall. Should come off with a little tug and wiggle.

6.) From here you want to cut back the electric tape being careful not to cut the wires.

7.) In this pic you can cleanly see the 3 wires going to the sensor. The one to be worked on is the CENTER wire. That's center from both sides. ;)
And you want to go ahead and cut that with and splice it.

8.) Now you want to use your new ground wire and slpice and attach a male connector to one end.
