Air flow sensor: Air flow sensor. It detects how much air is flowing into the engine.

It measures the air mass and it is useful for the ECU because it can calculate exactly how much oxygen is entering into the engine. With this information, the ECU regulates the engine parameters to ensure its right performance. The sensor is placed in the inlet manifold, just behind the throttle body.
It has happened twice to me that when I accelerated my car deeply, it stalled. When I turn it on again, after 2 seconds it stalled once more. Even worse, when I finally worked out how to hold it turned on, it wouldn't go over 2500 rpm as it entered in a short circuit. I was told the problem might be with the maf sensor, what do you think? What can I do to avoid this happening again? Thank you in advance.
I had your same problem and to know whether it is a MAF failure, you should check the oxygen flow in order to create a perfect mix of fuel and oxygen and thus have a good burning. You can as well check the internal resistance of your vehicle. In my case, once I replaced the MAF sensor, it started working perfectly again.
