Kia Optima Mass Air Flow Sensor

A component in Kia Optima cars referred to as the Mass Air Flow Sensor or MAF is one which is essential in maintaining efficiency in the car engine as it shall measure the air mass intake into the engine. This information is then sent to the PCM; where it controls the fuel injections in a bid to ensure that the air-fuel mixture is correct for combustion. Kia Optima models have used a number of variants of Mass Air Flow sensor, which include Vane Meter (VAF) and Hot wire sensors. While the VAF sensor works well there can be cases of airflow restrictions and mechanical wear and tear while the Hot Wire sensor gives accurate readings and it can be modified as per requirements yet there can be problems due to contamination. Maintenance of the MAF sensor is very important if it fails it will lead to problems such as stalling or wrong air-fuel ratios affecting the net Kia Optima power output.
