re: Air Flow Meter ... basically tells your fuel injection computer how much air is coming into the engine so it can give you a proper mixture of fuel and air in the cylinders for an efficent burn This is correct. The one in my aircooled model performs its measurement via deflection of a plate. This method is almost totally replaced now by measurement via hot wire although I believe hot wire systems never made it to Vanagons. A really good book on how Bosch Fuel Injection works can be found at http://www.rb.com/bosch/gfib/gfib.htm Easy to understand and recommended. Vanagons have pulsed injection as opposed to continuous injection. |
