The Mazda RX-8 Mass Air Flow Sensor is a highly accurate regulator of the air-fuel ratio of the rotary engine that provides sharp power and reliable handling. Relied upon by owners due to its ability to report real-time airflow within milliseconds, this unit forms the basis of spark timing, injector pulses and even catalytic converter protection. The factory sensor is constructed to the same high standards that defined all Mazda sports coupes, so having it constructed to use a true Mass Air Flow Sensor would ensure worry-free service for several years to come. The first cars have a spring-loaded vane and the later designs have a hot wire design, but both can simply be inserted directly into the factory harness, meaning each RX-8 made from 2003 to 2012 can change sensors without a hassle. The hot wire style is unique in that it has no moving parts and eliminates drag, increases intake volume and automatically corrects the situation at high altitudes or in the morning when air density varies. With proper metering, lean misfires, excessive carbon accumulation and unexpected stalling are much less probable, and you also have smoother launches and highway merges. Since the sensor ensures the correct amount of oxygen in the combustion chambers, the emissions will remain within the parameters of the law, the warning lights will remain off, and the headaches of inspection will be avoided. A good Mass Air Flow Sensor improves the fuel economy as well by preventing the dumping of excess gasoline when the performance coupe is driven harder, which is a welcome effect on a car that is frequently driven to its limits. Its robust housing feels less vibration due to the rotary revving its engine, and tuners admire the fact that the stock setting still has headroom to allow small bolt-on mods to be done without entering limp mode. It is compatible with the base, Shinka and R3 trims, and will allow the same tiny part to match all the RX-8 personalities, from commuter to weekend autocrosser. This confidence ensures Mazda enthusiasts spend more time on the road. Having a track record of reliability, this sensor will keep your Mazda active, economical, and sure in traffic.
