One of the most critical pieces of data collected by your vehicle's ECU is the amount of air available for combustion at a given point. This data is collected as a voltage reading across a heated wire within a sensor housing.

If you've pulled a specific MAF fault code, or are simply experiencing poor engine performance, ECS offers an assortment of replacement options to resolve the problem.

ECS assembled and OEM refresh kits are available depending on your vehicle's needs.
