What is an Air Flow Meter?
The air flow meter helps keep your engine running smoothly. It's used to measure the quantity of air going into the engine. It uses a hot wire to measure, and then sends a signal to the PCM.
Keeping your MAF sensor is beneficial to your ride, since an incorrect air-fuel ratio can result in decreased fuel economy and a loss of power -- and no one wants that. If you find your AFM is faulty, replace it with an aftermarket Mass Air-Flow sensor to gain faster acceleration, increase torque and improve fuel economy.
Signs of a Faulty Air Flow Meter:
Rough idling, problems starting extended crank time when engine is cold, poor fuel economy or stalling may be indicators of a faulty Air-Flow Meter.
How to Check:
Step 1. Locate the sensor. Hint: it looks like a "T."
Step 2. Check for dust or debris on the lower have of the "T" -- where the sensor wires are.
Step 3. Set a voltmeter to the ohms setting.
Step 4. Measure the resistance between the terminals. The reading should be around a 0. If it is, that's great. If it is not, you have a broken meter.
Replacing your Air-Flow-Meter
You decided to upgrade your stock AFM for a performance Mass Air-Flow Sensors. Follow this removal and installation tips to replace your faulty Air Flow Meter.
