Difference between MAP and MAF sensors

I get confused between the difference
And also maybe some folks might have meant one but typed the other

Can folks confirm what they do and where they are please ?
Thanks

This is the sensor that requires most regularly cleaning, I clean mine every 6 months at the same time as I am changing the oil and filter.

It’s full name is the Manifold Absolute Pressure and Temperature sensor, (MAPT) Sensor.

There are 2 M.A.F sensors ( Mass Airflow Sensors ) , one in each of the air filter ducting, that require less frequent inspection.

MAP sensors measure intake pressure ( absolute pressure and not relative to weather or altitude). MAF sensors measure air mass (not volume so it's temperature and pressure independent) entering the intake. One map sensor and a MAF on each intake. Both are used to calculate fuelling, boost and identify any faults ( leaks) if they present unexpected data to the ECU. MAP sensor needs regular cleaning as it's position mean it's getting soot from the EGR which can make it slow to respond to throttle pedal input ( hesitation) . MAF sensors shouldn't need any work as they just get clean air. There is also an AIT sensor before the throttle which measures the intake temperature post turbo and IC. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Is there a recommended way of cleaning the sensors? Bit of brake cleaner ? Compressed air blast ?

I used brake cleaner and worked a treat.
