Ford Mustang Mass Air Flow Sensor

The Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) is used on Ford Mustang automobiles to measure the amount of air that is ingested by the engine, this air is vital in fueling the engine in the right proportion. To achieve this the MAF sensor sends this data to the engine control unit (ECU) to ensure that correct amount of fuel is injected to the engines thus improving its performance and efficiency. Throughout the various years of Ford Mustang, different sorts of MAF sensors such as the Vane Meter or VAF along with the Hot Wire kind have been used. The VAF sensor is also effective, but can limit airflow, and often beings a victim of mechanical depreciation. The Hot Wire sensor has a more precise and flexible rank of measurement than the Hot Film, although the latter is sensitive to contamination. Two more types of sensors are Hot Film and Karman vortex sensors which use completely different approaches in order to provide accurate measurements of air flow. The function of the Mass Air Flow Sensor in the Ford Mustang is very important in ensuring that the car's engine performs as it should, thus, proper maintenance of the same is paramount.

We provide a wide range of Ford Mustang Mass Air Flow Sensor at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Mustang Mass Air Flow Sensor, you can shop with confidence on our website.
