Air Induction System

Air is drawn into the induction system through an air pick-up duct mounted in front of radiator support. This ensures intake air is lower temperature than engine compartment temperatures, resulting in denser air supply to combustion chambers.

Air intake duct provides turbulent free airflow for accurate measurement at the MAF sensor. Duct between MAF and throttle body must be air tight. Air entering behind the MAF sensor will not be measured, and cause a lean air/fuel ratio. Rubber boot between MAF sensor and throttle body prevents this air leakage.
