Is a Dirty Sensor Tricking Your Engine?

If your vehicle is running poorly, hesitating, or getting terrible gas mileage, the issue could be a small, sensitive component feeding your engine false information. The Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor is responsible for measuring the air entering the engine, allowing the computer to add the perfect amount of fuel. As our video shows, when this sensor gets dirty, it can lead to a host of frustrating and easily misdiagnosed performance problems.

A contaminated MAF sensor can under-report airflow, causing your engine to run lean, which leads to a rough idle and poor acceleration. At Epoch Automotive, we understand that accurate diagnostics are essential. A sensor that over-reports airflow can create a rich condition, wasting fuel and potentially damaging costly components like your catalytic converter over time.

Don’t let a simple cleaning issue turn into a significant repair. Our technicians can quickly and accurately test the MAF sensor and determine if a cleaning or replacement is the solution to your performance woes.
