Default What does a mass air kit include? (Computer pins wise)

Eventually when I get this running I will need to upgrade to mass air, and I'm looking at those kits they sell for about $50.. Now I know a need a computer, and i believe my car came iwth a MA sensor (It's in the cold air intake, I see a plug.. I assume thats it. the PO meant to switch but never did, but whats these rods or tubes I hear about?). Anyways, looking at wiring diagrams, mass air requires more pins to the computer, for fuel pump monitor, and VSS and what not. Would these kits include that? Is the FP monitor and vss necessary? Can I buy the computer plug terminal pins at Ford if not? (I don't want to order through fordfuelinjection.com.. Such a pain for shipping/customs for 3 small pins...) Thanks

I've heard you might have stalling issues if you don't do the FP and VSS, so I just went ahead and did it. I went to the junkyard and got the 3 pins for the computer. They even gave 'em to me for free.

With Mass air you mean? I assume you don't mean SD becuase the pins aren't included.. So the kit doesn't come with those pins?

It comes with the pins for the mass air harness. See pic...

But you will also have to run new wires from the fuel pump relay and the VSS to the computer, which you will need 3 more pins.
