OEM Vehicle Air Intake Systems

The air intake system in your vehicle, also known as an air induction system, is responsible for drawing oxygen into the engine. There the air mixes with gas to provide fuel for the combustion chamber, which leads to the power that moves your car, pickup, van, or SUV down the highway.

How Your Air Intake System Works

Outside air first passes through the engine air filter, which captures any airborne contaminants and debris. After that, it’s regulated in three ways. A mass airflow sensor measures air movement, while the air metering system feeds data to the engine control unit (ECU). Finally, oxygen sensors monitor your vehicle’s exhaust levels to ensure that your engine is operating at optimal performance levels.

How to Detect Air Intake System issues

It’s not unheard of for air induction system parts to go bad over time, though. If that happens, your engine may not get the ideal amount of oxygen that it needs. Signs of failure include:

• Your "Check Engine" dash light comes on
• The engine idle speed is either higher or lower than normal
• Your engine revs higher than usual
• Weakened engine performance
