Product Details
Chery FX Inlet Air Flow Sensor (Part No.: A11-3614011)
Think of this as your Chery FX’s “engine air meter”—not just a small sensor, but a precision electronic component that tells the engine how much air is coming in, so it can mix the right amount of fuel for efficient combustion. It’s a compact, heat-resistant unit made of durable plastic housing (protects internal parts from engine bay heat), a sensitive sensing element (detects air flow), and a wiring connector (sends data to the engine’s ECU, or Electronic Control Unit). Mounted in the FX’s air intake pipe (between the air filter and throttle body), it works nonstop as you drive: when you press the gas pedal, more air flows into the engine—the sensor measures this airflow and sends a signal to the ECU. The ECU then adjusts the fuel injection amount, ensuring the air-fuel mixture is just right (not too lean, not too rich). Without a working inlet air flow sensor, your FX’s engine would run rough, use more fuel, or even stall—since it can’t get the right air-fuel balance.
This sensor is exclusive to Chery FX—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! Chery tailored it to the FX’s engine specs: its sensing range matches the FX’s air intake capacity (accurate readings at all speeds), its connector fits the FX’s ECU wiring (no signal errors), and its housing is sized to fit the FX’s air intake pipe (no air leaks). Grab a generic sensor or one for other models? You’ll run into issues: wrong readings (bad air-fuel mix), incompatible wiring (ECU can’t read data), or poor fit (air leaks that throw off measurements).
1. Core Jobs: Measure Airflow & Optimize Combustion
As a critical part of the FX’s fuel management system, it has two non-negotiable jobs:
Detect air intake volume: It precisely measures how much air enters the engine (even small changes, like when accelerating or idling) and sends real-time data to the ECU—this is the foundation for proper fuel adjustment.
Ensure efficient combustion: By telling the ECU the right airflow, it helps the engine burn fuel efficiently—this boosts fuel economy (uses less gas), reduces emissions (meets standards), and keeps the engine running smoothly (no rough idling or hesitation).
This A11-3614011 inlet air flow sensor only fits Chery FX—wrong fit means engine performance issues:
Fits These: All Chery FX variants (matches engine intake capacity, ECU wiring, and intake pipe size—confirm with VIN).
Won’t Fit These:
Non-Chery vehicles: Even if the connector looks similar, their ECU can’t interpret the sensor’s signals (causes check engine lights and poor performance).
FX with modified intake systems: Aftermarket cold air intakes or larger air filters change airflow—original sensor can’t measure it accurately (bad fuel mix).
Installation & Upkeep (DIY-Friendly for Basic Mechanics)
Installation: Easy With Basic Tools (15–20 Minutes)
Replacing this sensor doesn’t need advanced skills—here’s how:
Prep: Turn off the FX’s engine and disconnect the battery (avoids electrical risks). Locate the air intake pipe (between the air filter box and throttle body)—the sensor is bolted or clipped to it.
Remove old sensor: Unplug the wiring connector from the sensor (press the tab to release it). Remove the 2–3 bolts or clips holding the sensor to the intake pipe. Pull the old sensor out gently (don’t force it—you might damage the pipe).
Install new sensor: Slide A11-3614011 into the intake pipe opening, align the mounting holes/clips, and secure it with bolts or clips. Plug the wiring connector back in (it clicks when secure).
Test: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and let it idle. Check for the check engine light (if it stays off, the sensor works). Take a short drive—ensure there’s no rough idling, hesitation when accelerating, or poor fuel economy.
Maintenance: Simple Checks to Avoid Failures
Clean the sensor yearly: Use a specialized mass airflow sensor cleaner (don’t use soap or water) to spray the sensing element—dust buildup can throw off readings (follow the cleaner’s instructions to avoid damage).
Check the connector every 6 months: Inspect the wiring plug for corrosion or loose pins—bad connections cause signal errors (clean corrosion with a small brush if needed).
Replace air filter on schedule: A dirty air filter restricts airflow and can send dust to the sensor (clogging it)—follow Chery’s advice (usually every 15,000–20,000 km).
Watch for warning signs: If your FX has poor gas mileage, rough idling, or a check engine light (code P0100-P0104), the sensor might be faulty—have it tested or replaced.
Summary: Chery FX Inlet Air Flow Sensor (A11-3614011)
As Chery FX’s “engine air meter,” this compact, heat-resistant sensor has a durable plastic housing, sensitive sensing element, and ECU wiring connector. Mounted in the air intake pipe (between air filter and throttle body), it’s exclusive to FX (confirm via VIN), matching intake capacity, ECU wiring, and pipe size.
Key roles: Precisely measure intake airflow (sends real-time data to ECU); optimize air-fuel mix for efficient combustion (boosts fuel economy, reduces emissions, prevents rough idling/stalling). Without it, engine performance drops.
It fits all FX variants but not other Chery models (e.g., Tiggo, Arrizo 5), non-Chery vehicles, or FX with modified intake systems.
Installation is DIY-friendly (15–20 mins): Disconnect battery, remove old sensor, install A11-3614011, test. Maintenance: Clean yearly with specialized cleaner, check connector every 6 months, replace air filter (15,000–20,000 km), watch for warning signs (poor mileage, check engine light P0100-P0104).
Original sensors ensure accuracy and ECU compatibility—aftermarket ones risk wrong readings, short lifespan, or ECU damage.
