I don't mean to step on your toes at all here buddy, but I thought some more info on how a MAF actually works could be good info for people to have. Basically the element that is screwed into the "tube" that is the MAF housing is a heater grid of sorts. The computer tries to keep said element at the same temperature all the time, this is achieved by sending higher voltage to the "heater grid". As air flow increases over the element or "heater grid" (increasing RPM) the ECU sends more voltage to the element. Based on how much the ECU has to adjust voltage to the element to keep the element the same temperature, it is able to know how much air (where the g/s reading comes from) is going past the element.
You got it buddy! Nice work I don't mean to step on your toes at all here buddy, but I thought some more info on how a MAF actually works could be good info for people to have.
