Yes the computer still needs to know the amount of air coming into the engine.
No they do not. Simply put: There is a hole to place the mass air flow sensor. The best thing to do would be to purchase a new mass air flow sensor for the best results.
It could be your air intake temperature sensor or maybe your mass air flow sensor
In a 1998 Mercury Villager, the mass air flow sensor is located in the air intake tube. The air intake tube goes from the air box to the intake.
In mass air flow sensor.
did you mean "mass air flow" sensor (MAF)? it measures the amount of air flowing into intake.
95 through 2000 cirrus' do not have a mass flow sensor. I noticed that when I put a cold air intake on my 99 .
The intake air temperature sensor is located on the mass air flow sensor on the intake. There are five wires attached to the sensor.
The mass air flow sensor is installed between the intake of the engine and the air filter
if it is not in the air intake tube it will be built into the mass air flow sensor
Mass air flow sensor is located in the intake pipe connecting the air filter box with the throttle body.
the intake air temperatue sensor is paired with the mass air flow sensor as one unit
the iat is built into the mass air flow sensor attached to the intake tube
