Few sensors in any car have a higher authority than the Mass Air Flow (MAF)sensor. It is so critical to fuel control that a failed or contaminated MAF can cause an assortment of driveability problems: reduced power and fuel economy, ping, a failed emissions test, and sometimes, a no-start. If your car suffers from MAF-related bog, stumble, erratic idle, stalling, or an illuminated check engine light, a new Bosch MAF can restore lost performance in minutes, and increase fuel economy. Readily accessible; easy to install.

The mass air flow sensor, or MAF, controls the amount of fuel delivered through the injectors based on the volume of air entering the intake. If your vehicle is throwing a MAF code, replace it as soon as possible to ensure you get the best fuel mileage and performance. It is common for this part to fail slowly, causing poor fuel mileage and hampered performance. When it fails completely, the vehicle will stutter and stall as it falls into a limp mode.

It's common tuner wisdom that increasing airflow & reducing exhaust restrictions increases an engine's ability to make power. Of course, more available air only translates to increased power output when an engine's ECU adjusts to this new condition by adding more fuel to the mixture. The importance of a superior-performing fuel pump should be obvious - the majority of power modifications place extra demands on this part, posing the risk of fuel cutouts or fuel pump failure. With the Autotech Hi-Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade, the sky is the limit, offering up to 50% more fuel flow.
