Hi, i've just bought a mondeo st24, i know virtually nothing about post 90's fords really i'm an old skool fan. When you accelerate the car hesitates and stutters. i recall the MAF sensors on these are prone to failing. would this cause it?

It has a brand new coilpack and leads in it presumably the previous owner tried to sort it too but failed?

its a 2.5 V6 1999 / 2000.

Cheers. Joe.
