The Best GM Induction Parts

Your vehicle's air induction system, also called its air intake, draws oxygen into your engine through an intake manifold, where the air is distributed among cylinders. When it combines with your fuel in the proper ratio, your spark plugs ignite the mixture, and it burns. This is how your engine produces the power it runs on.

How air induction systems work is simple. First, oxygen goes through your engine air filter, which removes airborne contaminants. Air levels are then regulated by a mass airflow sensor, an air metering system, and oxygen sensors. The first measures air movement. The second provides feedback to an engine control unit, or ECU. The third monitors exhaust levels. If your engine has a cold air intake, it can draw cooler and denser air in, slightly improving power output.

When air intake parts don't function properly, though, you'll start to see the signs. They include a Check Engine light on the dash, fast engine rev in neutral and when parked, and idling faster or more slowly than normal. Where the first symptom suggests possible engine performance problems, the last two indicate possible induction system failure.
