But, because a speed density system provides an indirect measurement of air flowing into the engine, it lacks the accuracy to meet modern emissions and performance standards.Īt the same time, European engineers achieved a more precise measurement of intake air flow by using electro-mechanical air flow sensor that incorporates a spring-loaded pivoting air vane to measure air flow. During the early 1980s, engine computer management systems relied upon a speed density fuel system that used inputs from a throttle position, engine speed, intake air temperature, and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor to estimate the grams per second of air flowing into the engine.ĭue to the MAP sensor, the speed density system can compensate for variations in weather and altitude. Armed with this knowledge, it’s entirely possible that you can provide an alternative solution to your customer’s problem.Īutomotive engineers know that 14.7 grams of air must be mixed with 1 gram of fuel to achieve nearly perfect combustion in a modern engine equipped with a catalytic converter. If you understand that a defective mass air flow (MAF) sensor can cause an extremely lean condition by underestimating the amount of air flowing into the engine, then you can understand how a defective MAF sensor can be mistaken for a defective fuel pump assembly.
