Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF)
Measures the amount of air entering the engine for fuel calculation.
The MAF sensor sends air volume data to the ECU, ensuring correct air-fuel ratio. Dust or oil contamination distorts readings, leading to rough idling or stalling. Cleaning the sensor with proper solvent restores accuracy. Regular air filter maintenance prevents MAF contamination. Accurate airflow data ensures efficient combustion and fuel economy.
