When do you need to replace a mass airflow sensor?
If your mass airflow sensor is damaged then, you will have to repair or replace it. One of the factors that determine the cost of replacing a mass airflow sensor is the make and model of the vehicle. The cost of the mass airflow sensor also depends on the model of the car.
What can cause a MAF sensor to fail?
The sensor element could get contaminated or damaged. Sometimes, an improperly-installed or ripped air filter can cause the MAF sensor to fail sooner. Over-soaking a washable air filter with oil can also cause troubles with the air flow sensor.
Can a dirty air filter cause a MAF to get dirty?
The MAF can also get dirty as time goes on due to an old or clogged air filter. A dirty filter will serve as a passage for dirt to enter into the airflow sensor.
Which is more accurate mass air flow sensor or moving vane meter?
Moving vane meters can limit the amount of engine power because its design can restrict airflow. It can also be difficult to install and find a place to mount this kind of sensor in a tightly-packed engine bay. This newer type of mass air flow sensor is more accurate than a moving vane meter.

Can a bad mass air flow sensor trigger a check engine light?
Bad mass air flow sensor with no check engine light? Sometimes a mass airflow sensor can start to fail and even trigger engine error codes such as P0101 and P0102, without triggering a check engine light. There must be a problem with the mass airflow sensor circuit for the check engine light to illuminate.
Are there any leaks in the MAF sensor?
Reply to AMEDEE’s Post: NO i dont think there is any leaks of any kind, so you think the MAF sensor that i have now its not good, but is brand new just got it yesterday? or that doesnt matter, now the car breaths alot havier than before. If you have rich codes, I would check the fuel pressure regulator.
