The development and release of the 7th generation Camaro has been delayed, so the current sixth generation will probably continue into the 2022 and 2023 model years.

Owners of other General Motors vehicles from Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac such as the Malibu, Impala, Bolt, Corvette, Trailblazer, Trax, Equinox, Blazer, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado, Express, Encore, Envision, Enclave, Regal, Sierra, Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Canyon, Savana, XT4, XT5, XT6, Escalade, CT4, CT5, CTS and CT6 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

Some of the symptoms of a dirty, failing or faulty MAF sensor include hard starting, rough idling, hesitation, surging, poor acceleration, hiccupping, reduced fuel economy (lowered MPG), stalling, loss of power and possibly misfiring. You might also see a CEL / SES (check engine light / service engine soon warning) on the gauge cluster.

If you have an OBDII scanner it may reveal a MAF sensor related DTC (diagnostic trouble code) such as P0100, P0101, P0102, P0103 or P0104.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) mass air flow sensor part number is ACDelco 23262344 (also marked with the part number AFH70M-122).

Please be sure to double check the OEM part number on the MAF sensor in your vehicle before purchasing a new one.

The only tool needed to remove and replace the sensor is a Torx T20 star bit screwdriver or a Torx T20 socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet.

The first two steps are to open the hood and move to the right (driver) side of the engine bay.

The MAF sensor is attached to the black plastic tube on the left side of the engine air filter housing next to the rubber air intake hose.

Push in the black plastic release tab on the the electrical connector before pulling the power plug straight off the old sensor.

Set the two Torx T20 screws aside in a safe place.

Inspect all sides of the old sensor for any debris, soot or damage.

Gently spray the sensor wire with the cleaning spray and allow it to air dry.

Do not use compressed air or shake the sensor to help avoid damaging the delicate sensor wire.

Slide the new sensor straight into the slot.

Replace the two screws by turning them in the clockwise direction with the Torx T20 screwdriver until they are snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the two screws to prevent from cracking the plastic MAF sensor housing.

You should feel or hear the power plug "click" securely into place.

Slide the red plastic lock tab in towards the sensor to secure the connector in place.

If you have an OBD2 scan tool, use it to clear any MAF sensor related diagnostic trouble codes.

Start the engine and take the car for a short test drive to see if it is running properly.

Be sure to write down the sensor cleaning or replacement in your vehicle's service records.
