Welcome to the forum.

The below images found on the KiaTech web site in my sig. , should help you identify the wires and their location on the MAF.

The service info is found in the "Shop" sections, and the electrical schematics in the "ETM" section.

thanks for the info just need to find a new plug now as its gone and the wires soldered straight on to the terminals hope this sorts the problem

Many folks solder the wires straight on when they have trouble with corroded connectors.
