How does the mass airflow sensor work on a new car?
The stock mass airflow sensor is designed for stock tuning (air and fuel flow) and will not automatically re-calibrate for additional air flow. Upgraded intakes can lose power with newer cars because most use MAF-based fueling. With a change of pipe size, the fueling is affected, and the factory ECU is calibrated to the stock size.
What causes rough idle after replacing mass air flow sensor?
Replaced air filter and maf sensor. Problems with vehicle turning off seemed to go away but now I have a rough Idle. Car will drop below 1000 rpms and then rev back up to over 1500 like it wants to shut off. Idle problems seem to go away when maf sensor is disconnected. Car throwing codes p0171 and p0102.
How long should it take for mass airflow sensor to re-calibrate?
Car does not run well, after installing cold air intake. Engine analyzer shows fault with mass airflow sensor. How long should it take to re-calibrate for extra air? My car has 111000 miles. My car has an automatic transmission. Hi, thanks for writing in.
Why is my air flow sensor not working?
It is possible that there is a problem with a BARO (barometric pressure) sensor that is reading faulty. Its purpose is to measure atmospheric pressure, the amount of air entering the engine, and supply the ECM with a calculated reading that allows the engine to make corrections accordingly.
How to replace the mass air flow sensor?
Here is the tsb on replacing the Mass Air flow sensor. You only have to reprogram the computer if necessary. Here is the instructions. See for yourself. 1. Remove the air filter element. Then, vacuum out all dust/dirt/debris found inside both halves of the air filter housing.
Is it better to replace the MAF sensor?
Both are delicate and may be damaged if you try to clean them. For this reason, it’s better to replace the sensor than to attempt to clean it and continue using it. The MAF sensor measures the amount of air that comes into the system.
Can a faulty mass airflow sensor cause rough idling?
A faulty or damaged mass airflow sensor can cause rough idling to the engine and difficulties in starting. The MAF can also get dirty as time goes on due to an old or clogged air filter.
