Intake Air Distribution And Filtering

INTAKE AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING - 2.5L

The air intake system consists of the:

- Air cleaner (ACL) pipe
- Air cleaner element
- Intake air resonator assembly
- Mass air flow (MAF) sensor

The intake air system:

- cleans intake air with a replaceable, dry type ACL element.
- measures airflow and air temperature with the MAF sensor.

The engine ACL element is made of treated, pleated paper. A new ACL element must be installed periodically as scheduled. Engine performance and fuel economy are adversely affected when maximum restriction of the ACL element is reached.
