The mass airflow meter is an air flow sensor, also known as a MAF sensor and is an integral component of a vehicle’s electric engine management system. It can be found in the plastic housing between the engine and air filter. The role of an air flow sensor is to measure the volume and density of air entering the engine. If your air flow sensor is defective it can lead to a variety of engine related problems which restricts engine performance.
