Air Mass Meters
Air mass meters are a key component in modern engine management, ensuring the correct mixture of air and fuel for efficient combustion. By precisely measuring the volume of air entering the engine, they help maintain performance, fuel economy, and lower emissions.
What Air Mass Meters Do and When to Replace Them
An air mass meter, also known as a mass airflow sensor, uses sensitive electronics to monitor airflow and relay this information to the engine control unit. This data allows the ECU to adjust fuel injection and ignition timing for optimal operation. Over time, sensors can become contaminated with dust, oil vapour, or moisture, leading to inaccurate readings. Common signs of failure include rough idling, reduced power, poor fuel economy, or warning lights on the dashboard.
Different designs of air mass meters may be used depending on the vehicle and engine type, such as hot wire or vane-type sensors. Selecting the correct replacement depends on engine size, model year, and whether an OEM-spec or aftermarket part is most suitable. Accurate fitment is crucial, as incorrect or faulty readings can quickly affect engine performance.
