need some general advice here on a ford
its a ford torous and it runs horrible. this has a REALLY bad miss when you first start it cold and will hardly run. once it warms up it smooths right out. any ideas? I dumped a bottle of injector and fuel system cleaner into the tank and filled it up before i left it with her. hasn't been long enough to tell if it helped though.

Wasn't aware it had a MAF screen, I was referring to the actual sensor. Anywhere past 60k on the sensor and it'* a roll of the dice when it starts.
Start off by just unplugging the sensor entirely. If nothing changes, then try cleaning the sensor with some rubbing alcohol, a q-tip, and a steady hand. Gently blow it dry, and try it if that'* the case.
The mileage may be her driving style, or it could be pointing to a bad MAF or maybe even a hung injector.
