Where is the intake air flow sensor?

Cars often encounter some problems when driving on the road, so how to deal with these car problems? The following small series will tell you where the intake air flow sensor is, which may help you.

Most intake air flow sensors are installed on the intake pipe of the engine, behind the air cleaner element and in front of the throttle body. I.e. between the air filter element and the throttle valve.

Intake air flow sensor is a vehicle term, also known as "air flow sensor" and "air flow meter".

The air flow sensor is an instrument that converts the inhaled air flow into an electrical signal. It is a sensor for measuring the air intake of the vehicle air intake system.

The key of the air flow sensor on the vehicle is to check the air intake of the engine, and then convert the information of the air intake of the engine into an electrical signal and send it to the ECU. Then the driving computer will calculate the fuel injection quantity according to the information.

The intake system consists of air filter element, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, throttle body, idle speed regulating valve, power room, intake manifold, etc.

Generally speaking, the vehicle air intake system has two functions, one is to reduce noise and improve ride comfort. The other is to deliver clean, dry, sufficient and stable air for the engine to prevent impurities and large particles of dust from entering the engine combustion chamber, causing abnormal engine wear.

It can be said that the design of the intake system affects the power and noise quality of the engine at the same time, which is related to the ride comfort of the whole vehicle.

This is all that Bian Xiao introduced. So, do you know where the intake air flow sensor is after reading it? Is it helpful to read this knowledge? Finally, I hope Bian Xiao's introduction can help everyone.
