    Speed density, Also known as a M.A.P or manifold-absolute-pressure
    (honda uses this and is much better then a M.A.F in my opinion)

    You have an A.F.M or air-flow meter.
    It uses a mechanical flapper barn-door that is physically pushed aside by the intake air stream. The volume of this air-flow then determines how much the door opens. The door then is mechanically attached to a variable-resistor assembly that then sends a variable-voltage signal to the computer that roughly correlates to the volume of air flowing past it

    Crude and inaccurate to the Max! :shock:

      yet gets the job done and is a pretty reliable hunk-of-metal.
