Used Air Flow Meters For Sale

Air flow meters, or mass flow sensors, is a very important part of any combustion engine. This meter simply detects the mass of the air flow that is entering into the combustion chamber of the engine. This meter is required to provide the electronic control unit (ECU) with the information it needs to make sure that the proper amount of fuel and and air are being injected into the engine. Improper air mass can distort gas mileage and even cause a lot of other really nasty issues for an automobile. Where the meter is located will vary slightly, from engine to engine, as all of the major manufacturers approach R & D quite differently.

HOW DOES THIS PART WORK?

Many of these meters run off of hot wire sensor technology. A wire is suspended into the flow region. The wire has an electrical charge that is capable of increasing as the flow of air does. The increase in voltage is what tells the ECU that adjustments need to be made, and the amount of air that is taken in will thus be decreased in a properly working engine. There are also cold wire sensors that work by altering their inductance as the air pressure passes over them. The type of sensor in your car will depend on the manufacturer.
