Jaguar and Land Rover Air Intake Systems

Your air intake system, which is also referred to as an air induction system, pulls oxygen into the engine through the intake manifold. The air is then distributed to the engine cylinders, where it mixes with fuel. The spark plugs kindle that mix, leading to the combustion that you need to roll down the road.

How your air intake system works is simple. The air gets drawn through an engine air filter, which removes airborne contaminants. The amount of air is regulated in three ways. The mass airflow sensor measures the air movement, while an air metering system provides feedback to the engine control unit (ECU) and oxygen sensors monitor the exhaust levels. All of this allows the engine to adjust the amount of oxygen it requires for peak performance.

How to Spot Air Intake System Problems

If your air intake starts to go bad, trouble can follow. Signs of failure include:

• Uncommon engine idling
• Higher-revving engine than usual
• Suffering engine performance
