A mass air flow sensor, measures the mass(weight/temperature) of the air the engine is taking in. It does this by heating a wire in the sensor to a certain temperature and as the air flows past it cools the wire. The amount of current it takes to maintain the temperature lets the ECM know how much air it ingested by the motor and calculates the amount of fuel that is need.
