In 1998, Roto-fab began designing and manufacturing aftermarket automotive components on a private label basis. After nearly a decade of developing and manufacturing automotive products for others, the first Roto-fab branded parts were introduced. In only a few short years, the company has experienced tremendous growth and acceptance among car enthusiasts. The key to success has been providing truly unique products that perform as they should, fit the car well, and install easily without modifications to the vehicle. Combine that with outstanding customer service and the result is a satisfied end user!

The design approach is simple. Roto-fab designs the best products possible with little regard to tooling expense or manufacturing difficulty. Roto-fab products start as hand-made working prototypes that are relentlessly refined until the desired performance level, fit, and appearance are reached. There is no settling for less! The final prototype is then reverse engineered to create tooling and fixtures for production. By implementing this approach, the final product has all of the ingenuity and custom touches of a "one-off" hand fabricated piece. With two rotational molding machines for plastic molding as well as a complete metal fabrication shop, Roto-fab has the flexibility to design and manufacture it's own plastic and metal products in-house. This unique freedom in manufacturing is one of the major qualities that set Roto-fab apart from the others.

As growth continues, rest assured Roto-fab will never lose track of individual customer service both before and after your purchase. Customer satisfaction and word of mouth has been Roto-fab’s greatest marketing asset to this point; therefore, it only makes sense to continue down the path that has brought so much success already.

Air Intake and Induction » Mass Air Flow Sensors

What is a Mass Air Flow Sensor or MAF?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is part of your vehicle's electronic fuel injection system. The MAF sensor calculates the total amount of air entering the engine through the intake tract, and tells the computer how much fuel to inject for air coming through the intake. 

 

 

How does a mass air flow sensor work?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor has two sensing wires in the housing that protrudes into the intake tube prior to the throttle body.  One wire is heated by electrical current, the other is not heated at all.  As air flows across the heated wire, it cools the wire down. When the temperature difference between the two sensing wires changes, the MAF sensor automatically increases or decreases the current to the heated wire to compensate, telling the computer how much fuel to send through the fuel injectors.

 

How much horsepower and mpg increase can I expect from an aftermarket mass air flow sensor?

Aftermarket performance mass air flow (MAF) sensors replace your OEM sensor and improve on mileage and can increase horsepower by up to 20-HP, depending on the vehicle and engine. Performance MAF sensors increase airflow and low-end torque, without robbing top-end power, and works with factory electronics.

 

What are the symptoms of a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor?

  • The engine hesitates or drags while under load or idling.
  • During acceleration, you experience hesitation and jerking.
  • The engine coughs, sputters, or hiccups.
  • Excessively rich idling or lean idling.
  • The engine is difficult to start or crank over.
  • The engine stalls or dies shortly after starting.

 

Can you drive with a bad mass air flow sensor?

Yes and no. Yes, you can drive your vehicle with a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor, but only to get it home or to a repair shop to fix or replace it. Ignoring this problem can lead to far more severe engine problems and damage.

 

Why would a car run better with the mass air flow sensor unplugged?

If your vehicle runs better with your MAF sensor unplugged, you likely have a shorted-out sensor. When the computer does not read a signal from your mass air flow sensor, it provides the computer with a stock signal that will allow you to drive your vehicle for a short period of time to get it fixed or replaced.
