Air Flow Meter

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if it's possible to rewire an old style air flow meter to run a maf style sensor. Or is there more to it than just the sensor message to the ecu. Does the air flow meter actually control the idle air at the meter it's self or is it all done at the ecu or is that only on the electronic throttle body's and not the cable controlled ones ?

I'm not sure what exactly does what . Just very curious to find out.

I think that the earlier AFM tell the peramiters of the air intake to the ecu but it also has an electronic box that seems to open and close the main air flow before it gets to the main throttle body on the AFM itself. I think this has been overtaken by the fly by wire system but I really don't understand properly .
