The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor plays a crucial role in your vehicle's engine management system. It measures the volume and density of air entering the engine, providing vital data to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). This information is used to calculate the correct amount of fuel to inject for optimal combustion. A failing MAF sensor can lead to a range of performance issues, including poor acceleration, rough idling, decreased fuel economy, and illuminated check engine lights.
