What are the effects of a damaged air meter on a car?
1 Answers
Damage to the air meter can affect the engine's power performance, leading to issues such as unstable idling, poor acceleration, "backfire" in the intake pipe, and black smoke from the exhaust pipe, while also causing excessive exhaust emissions. Below are the relevant details: 1. Air Meter: The air meter, also known as the air flow meter, is one of the important sensors in an electronically fuel-injected engine. It converts the inhaled air flow into an electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control unit, serving as one of the basic signals for fuel injection. It is a sensor that measures the air flow entering the engine. 2. Basis: In order to obtain the optimal air-fuel mixture under various operating conditions, an electronically controlled gasoline injection engine must accurately measure the amount of air entering the engine at each moment, which serves as the main basis for the ECU to calculate the fuel injection amount.
