RODA SERVICE
Replace Mass Air Flow Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures how much air enters the engine, allowing the computer to deliver the right amount of fuel. When the sensor gets dirty or fails, your vehicle may run rough, lose power, or trigger a Check Engine Light.

THE RODA WAY
Our MAF Sensor Replacement service restores precise airflow readings, ensuring your engine runs efficiently and smoothly. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
When You Need This
A failing MAF sensor can cause drivability issues that affect performance, efficiency, and emissions — here’s how to know it’s time for replacement.
Check Engine Light On (Codes P0100–P0104)
Common codes indicating MAF circuit issues or signal irregularities.
Rough Idle or Hesitation
The engine may run unevenly or stumble when accelerating due to incorrect air readings.
Poor Fuel Economy
A bad MAF can cause the engine to run too rich or lean, reducing efficiency.
Hard Starting or Stalling
Incorrect air-fuel mix may make cold starts difficult or cause stalling when stopping.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Driving with a bad MAF sensor can harm the catalytic converter, reduce fuel economy, and make your car fail emissions tests. It can also cause long-term engine wear due to improper fuel mixtures.
How This is Done
We precisely diagnose and replace the MAF sensor to ensure your vehicle runs efficiently and smoothly.
1. Scan for Codes & Confirm Fault
Verify the issue through live data and rule out wiring or vacuum leaks.
2. Inspect Air Intake System
Check for dirt, leaks, or debris that could affect airflow readings.
3. Remove Old MAF Sensor
Safely detach the electrical connector and housing.
4. Install New OEM-Quality Sensor
Fit and seal the new sensor properly to prevent air leaks.
5. Clear Codes & Test Performance
Reset the system and verify stable idle, response, and fuel trims.

Rated 5-stars by hundreds of DC-area drivers
“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.Can I clean my MAF sensor instead of replacing it?
Sometimes, yes — but if it’s damaged or contaminated internally, cleaning won’t restore proper readings.
Will my car run without a working MAF?
It may run poorly or stall; the engine uses fallback data that can’t maintain ideal performance.
Can a bad air filter cause the MAF to fail?
Yes. Dirty filters allow debris to reach and coat the sensor’s sensing element.
Will replacing the MAF fix my Check Engine Light?
Yes, if the sensor was the source of the code. We’ll verify and confirm before replacing it.
What does the Roda warranty cover?
All battery replacements are backed by our Roda 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, covering both parts and labor for your peace of mind.
