Engine Air Filter

Category: automotive

A filter that cleans the air before it enters the engine combustion chamber.

The filter is the "engine lung." If it is clogged with leaves and dirt, the engine can’t breathe. It loses power and fuel economy because it has to "suck" harder through a blocked straw. It is the cheapest, easiest maintenance item.

Common Examples

• We replaced the severely clogged engine air filter, which immediately restored the car’s throttle response and smoothed out the idle.
• A clean engine air filter is vital to protecting the delicate sensors and injectors from grit and debris ingestion.
