What does the MAP sensor do on a vehicle?
MAP Sensors The sensor provides instant manifold pressure information to the engine’s electronic control unit. The data is used to calculate air density and determine the engine’s air mass flow rate, which in turn determines the required fuel delivery for perfect combustion.
Can a Mercedes Benz mass air flow sensor be replaced?
Some of the most common symptoms of a bad Mass Air Flow sensor in Mercedes Benz cars are: Engine dies, stalls soon after you start it. Sometimes cleaning the sensor could help but we would recommend replacing it. A new MAF sensor can be found for less than $30, check out this one on Amazon.

What kind of meter does Mercedes Benz use?
Older style meters used on fuel injection systems in the 1980s measured air volumetric flow, which worked fine but then you also needed a separate sensor to figure out how cold or dense the air was.
Where is the mass air flow sensor located?
The mass air flow sensor (MAF) is located inside the engine compartment and is used to measure the amount and temperature of air that is entering the engine at any one time.
How to replace the MAF sensor on a Mercedes W210?
Release the two clips on the top and bottom of the MAF sensor housing (green arrows). Pull the end of the MAF sensor housing out of the airbox. Loosen the hose clamp on the other end of the MAF sensor housing to release in from the intake hose (green arrow). Pull the MAF sensor housing out of the intake hose.
