Mass airflow sensor malfunction will usually result in black smoke coming from the exhaust, stalling, rough idling, and even engine misfires. The onboard computer will turn on the check engine light as well. Unfortunately, most of these symptoms are not unique to mass airflow sensor failure; they can occur for a variety of reasons. So, when they do occur, you will need to bring your vehicle to a professional auto repair shop so technicians can perform diagnostics and identify the root cause of the problem.
Naturally, at Parkway Car Care in Rowlett, we can perform mass airflow sensor diagnostics, and if the sensor is found to be faulty, we can get it replaced. All repairs performed by our nationally ASE-certified technicians are covered by a nationwide 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.
When the mass air flow sensor experiences problems, the onboard computer will turn on the check engine light. We highly recommend taking your vehicle for an inspection as soon as possible. Driving for a prolonged time with a failed MAF sensor can result in damage to the catalytic converter. As a matter of fact, it is never a good idea to ignore the check engine light.
