Airflow Sensor (Non-Turbo)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Toyota MR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Airflow sensor is located in airflow meter and measures intake airflow volume. Airflow meter converts intake air readings into a voltage signal by means of a variable resistor (potentiometer). The input signal is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM) for controlling fuel injection system operation and ignition timing (spark advance).
NOTE:
Airflow meter may be referred to as Volume Airflow (VAF) meter or Mass Airflow (MAS) meter.
