Airflow Meter

Inspect airflow meter for damage, and ensure measuring plate or cone moves smoothly. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 . Disconnect airflow meter electrical connector. Move measuring plate or cone, and measure resistance between terminals. See appropriate AIRFLOW METER TERMINAL RESISTANCE  table. Replace sensor as necessary.
