1996 Buick Roadmaster Air Flow Sensors

CARQUEST MAP sensors are manufactured with critical OEM components to ensure that your engine runs efficiently to reach the best gas mileage on your vehicle.

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution to the original problem is made. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system fault.

ACDelco GM Original Equipment Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensors are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. ACDelco GM Original Equipment parts are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles. Some ACDelco GM Original Equipment parts may have formerly appeared as GM Genuine Parts (OE) or ACDelco Professional.

The temperature of various systems must be reported to the engine control module (ECM) as well as other operating system controllers in the vehicle. Coolant temperature, cabin temperature, exhaust temperature and ambient temperature are just a few systems reported by a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is fed 5 volts by the systems computer, within the sensor housing will be a thermistor, or dropping resistor whose resistance value will change as the temperature surrounding it changes. Changing resistance in the circuit will change the volt signal at the processor indicating the current operating value.

The Air Charge Temperature Sensor provides an input to the vehicles computer as to the temperature of the air entering the engine via the air cleaner assembly. The engine computer uses this input to control many operating conditions which in turn provides optimal engine operation, engine performance and clean tailpipe emissions.
