OEM Jaguar Air Intake Parts

The air intake system is an essential component when it comes to your engine. Also known as an air induction system, it pulls air into the engine cylinders through an intake manifold. Once in the cylinders, the oxygen mixes with fuel. Your spark plugs ignite the mix, creating combustion and the power that your Jaguar vehicle runs on.

Some vehicles have a cold air intake, which is a bit different. This system places the engine air filter outside the engine compartment – typically near a fender or above the wheel well – where it can draw in cooler, denser air to provide a bit more engine power.

How Air Intakes Work

First, air passes through the engine air filter. That filter collects contaminants and debris, keeping them from accumulating in your engine. The air levels are controlled by a mass airflow sensor, an air metering system, and any number of oxygen sensors. They work together to monitor both air movement and exhaust levels, feeing that information back to the engine control unit (ECU).

How to Spot Air Intake Issues

If your air intake components stop working, engine trouble is likely to follow. Fortunately, there are signs to alert you to the fact that your air intake parts are going bad. They include:

• High engine idle
• Faster revving engine
• The "Check Engine" dash light comes on
