Chevy Corvette Mass Air Flow Sensors & Components

The function of the mass airflow sensor is to measure the amount of air that enters the engine at any given moment. Airflow sensors belong to the equipment used by electronic fuel injection systems for maintaining optimal conditions for combustion and ensuring the highest efficiency of the process. Installed in the air intake, the sensor directly connects to the engine control unit. Combined with data from other sources, the information delivered by the sensor allows the electronics to calculate how much fuel the engine needs at the given moment and thus provide accurate dosing of hydrocarbons.

The MAF sensor is absent in the engines with mechanical fuel delivery controls, i.e. those equipped with a carburetor. Therefore, if your Chevy Corvette belongs to one of the early generations of the model, then you don’t need to worry about the malfunction of this device. However, it’s a rather spread issue among more recent generations of this spectacular vehicle. The MAF sensor sending false information to the engine control module will lead to the loss of both power and fuel efficiency. When it's completely broken, the engine will switch to the emergency mode and light up the check engine indicator.
