How do you remove a mass air flow sensor?
Loosen the hose clamps on the intake tube with a screwdriver and remove the air intake tube from the air box. Unplug the electrical plug running to the mass air flow sensor and remove the mass air flow sensor from the air tube assembly.
How can I bypass the cold air intake sensor?
Step 1 Turn off the ignition of your vehicle and open its hood. Disconnect the negative battery cable (red). Locate the mass air flow (MAF) sensor on the air intake. Grasp the wire harness that connects the MAF sensor to the power unit in the engine compartment and gently pull it out of the MAF sensor. This will disconnect it.
How does the MAF sensor calculate gas mileage?
There is a sensor on the air intake called the mass air flow sensor. This sensor calculates how much air to mix with the fuel. If you are using a cold air intake, the MAF sensor might not be calculating properly. This means you are not getting the added gas mileage that most cold air intakes advertise.
Why is my MAF sensor not working on my cold air intake?
If you are using a cold air intake, the MAF sensor might not be calculating properly. This means you are not getting the added gas mileage that most cold air intakes advertise.
What happens if you leave the mass airflow sensor Unplugged?
Q: Car runs with the mass airflow sensor unplugged. If you plug it in it will die if the car is running. If you unplug the mass air flow sensor the car will start. If you try to plug it in while it’s running the car will die. My car has 90000 miles. My car has an automatic transmission. This is a sure sign of a shorted mass airflow sensor.
Where is the mass air flow ( MAF ) sensor?
Locate the mass air flow (MAF) sensor on the air intake. Grasp the wire harness that connects the MAF sensor to the power unit in the engine compartment and gently pull it out of the MAF sensor. This will disconnect it. Reconnect the negative battery cable to the battery and close the vehicle’s hood.
