So I've been looking at getting a nice Cold Air Intake for my '03 EX for quite some time (AEM?)
Problem is I've been seeing this everywhere:
"03-04 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL (EXC. ALL W/MAF SENSOR"

How can I tell/do I know if my accord has a MAF sesnor? Am I out of luck and is it short ram for me?

Thanks in advance.

 

if you have a maf on your car you would have trouble with a cold air or a short ram. you would actually be blessed if you were required to use a short ram. but.....all that aside... just look at your intake system or have someone who knows about cars look at it. nothing else looks like a maf. and its got a big *** plug into it. not your IAT which is only 3/4 of an inch in diameter, this is the big bitch. if you car is super low emission or something like that your screwed...or if you live in cali i think.

 

Ahh thanks! I'll have to take a look later today.

 

if ur car's an automatic, then there's probably an MAF sensor on it. Honda didn't put any on the manual cars

 

Yeah that's what I assumed. I took a good look in and determined that that little bugger right there is the MAF. Could be wrong though.

 

nooooo thats a breather you have circled. its the thing just to the right of it thats actually ON the intake tube with the electrical connector attached to it. thats the MAF

 

Do you think I have a MAF? I have a LEV Engine, Auto Tranny, K24A4 I4...

[EDIT]- Got this from hondanews.com

"Two new 5-speed automatic transmissions have been developed (replacing 4-speed automatics in previous generation Accords), one matched to the 4-cylinder and one for the V6 engine. "

"California SULEV version features: Mass air flow meter (MAF) for improved A/F control / Enhanced and larger catalytic converter"

"In SULEV spec for the California market, the engine does not compromise power, and requires only the addition of a Mass Air Flow sensor, an enhanced catalytic converter and the use of low sulfur fuel to meet this extremely rigorous emissions standard."

So only Cali cars are equipped with MAF sensors, regardless of transmission and cylinder. Amen, I just got a better deal for my intake.

 

here's the maf on my 06 vp click image to enlarge and i live in tenn oh 03accordex you might try www.f5air.com they have one for my 06 with maf
