The Mercedes-Benz C230 Mass Air Flow Sensor assists the engine to inhale the air at an ideal rate by counting each gulp of air to enable the computer to add fuel at its desired proportion. This electronic watchdog is mounted in the intake tube of the Mercedes-Benz C230 and monitors the air mass in real time and feeds it to the engine control unit, which adjusts injector pulse width to maintain smooth combustion during idle, cruise or full throttle bursts. There have been two key designs that have appeared in different years of the C230 line, the older vane air flow meter, which has a flap that is spring loaded, and the newer style sensor, which is a hot wire. The vane meter is based on a swinging door connected to a potentiometer, which is prone to drag, orientation constraints and wear, in general slowing response as well as partially choking airflow. The hot wire unit heats a fine wire in the airstream and measures how much current is required to keep it hot to maintain a constant temperature, a faster and more accurate sensor that automatically compensates for temperature and altitude changes, though oil or dust on the wire may also create false readings. Regardless of the version that your Mercedes-Benz uses, the correct data about airflow is essential; dirt, vacuum leaks or an abraded intake pipe welcome lean or rich mixtures, leading to subsequent hesitation, stalling, poor mileage and the infamous check engine light until the Mass Air Flow Sensor is cleaned or replaced by a new Mass Air Flow Sensor. Owners of Mercedes-Benz make their cars remain vibrant and effective by cleaning this small part.
