The mass airflow sensor measures air movement, while the air metering system sends data concerning the amount of air being used to the engine control unit (ECU). Finally, the oxygen sensor measures exhaust levels, allowing the engine to adjust both fuel and air levels to optimize the mix feeding combustion.
