What is the difference between a mass air flow sensor and a mass air flow meter?
Missy7832
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the mass of the air entering the engine. Because air mass varies with air temperature (cold air is denser than warm air), measuring air mass provides the PCM with a very acurate way of determining the correct amount of fuel to obtain the ideal fuel/air mixture. - Haynes Repair Manual #36071

β 15y agoThe mass air flow sensor is a component that measures the volume and density of incoming air, then sends that information to the car's computer (ECU). The ECU analyzes the mass air flow signal and responds by telling the injectors to deliver the correct amount of fuel. So, the more air an engine takes in, the more fuel will be necessary to support combustion. A faulty air mass sensor typically results in driveability problems such as hesitation, stalling, and starting difficulties.

Where is the MAF sensor on a 96 Dodge Neon?
The Dodge Neon does not have a MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor. It does, however, have a MAP (Mass Air Pressure) sensor located on the intake manifold between the two left runners.
How do you test maf sensor?
hi i have a discovery td5 1999,how can i test if my air flow meter is working ok,i cleaned out the air flow meter and brock the element inside,but i have solderd a thin bit of in place,so now i need to test to if it works.hope you can help,thanks,richy
Coronary perfusion pressure?
the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
Where is the AIT sensor in a 96 Ford Thunderbird LX 3.8?
right before the mass air flow sensor
Can a dirty air filter affect the air flow sensor?
Yes!
What is the difference between a mass air flow sensor and mass air flow meter?
the mass air flow sensor detects the flowing of mass air into the engine while the mass air flow meter detects the amount of mass air flowing into the ingine.
Where is the air flow sensor meter on a ford explorer?
Between the air filter box and the throttle body.
What is the difference between an Oxygen Sensor and a Mass Air flow Sensor in a 2001 VW Jetta?
The oxygen sensor is more commonly known as a lambda sensor at it monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gasses going through the exhaust, the Mass air flow meter monitors the incoming air coming through the air intake before it enters the engine.

What is the principle of micromotion flow meter?
it principle denpend on what kind of flow meter. example, magnetic flow meter, it use magnetic force to measuring or coriolis flow meter which is use vibrated capilary tube as sensor. or more info you might watch on youtube.
Where is the intake air temperature sensor on a Lexus IS 300?
The IAT sensor is mounted on the mass air flow meter.
Does the f8 sohc 1.8 Mazda engine work with a maf sensor or an air flow meter?
From my experience and basic knowledge of owning a 1.8 and 2.2 engine, i believe i carries a MAF Sensor...The 2.2 carries an air flow meter...
Where is the IAT sensor on the 2003 Silverado SS?
I believe it is inside the Air Meter. It also can be called the mass air flow sensor.
What is the Thermal Mass Flow Meter Working Principle?
The thermal mass meter measures gas flow based on the concept of convective heat transfer. The Sage flow meters are available in either inline flow bodies or insertion-style. The meterβs probe inserts into a gas stream of a pipe, stack, or duct in either case. Toward the tip of the meterβs probe are two sensors. These sensors are resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) or resistance thermometers and measure temperature. The RTDs consist of durable reference-grade platinum windings clad in a protective 316 SS or Hastelloy C sheath. One of the RTDs is heated by an integrated circuit and functions as the flow sensor, while a second RTD acts as the reference sensor and determines the gas temperature. The Sage proprietary circuitry maintains a continuous overheat between the flow sensor and reference sensor. As gas flows by the heated RTD, flowing gas molecules transport heat away from it, and as a result, the sensor cools, and the energy is lost. The circuit balance disrupts, and the temperature difference (ΞT) between the heated RTD and the reference RTD changes. Within a second, the circuit restores the lost energy by heating the flow sensor to adjust the overheat temperature. The electrical power required to sustain this overheat denotes the mass flow signal.

the difference between flow and motion is well flow is like floating and motion is the way you move
