Review on πŸ”Œ 69160 Jet Performance Mass Air Sensor by Andrew Spainhour

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No snake oil, higher resolution than stock sensor resulting in actual throttle position

**Add** Still working well. Average 1.5-3mpg depending on towing, stop and go etc. But highly recommended for modified vehicles. (Although I kept the OEM in the glove box just in case when I was out in the woods, I never needed it.) I was concerned it was just snake oil. Now I believe I ran 100 miles on my 2016 4runner TRD Pro without a jet sensor as base kilometers (currently 25,000 miles). weight penalty) and super petrol in every tank. Premium because I've found that at 3-4 tanks over 25,000 miles this premium class will improve mileage and performance at the expense of the edge (just like Lexus numbers say on paper for the same engine). I installed a jet sensor and immediately went from 19 mpg average (snow tires with studs) on the highway to 22.8 on the first 50 mile leg of the Oregon Coast Highway at 55-60 mph. I expected the ECU to correct the sensor after the first stop and start, but I was wrong. The drive home was a slower, twisty freeway ride in the rain for 2.5 hours (45-60 mph) and I averaged 21.6 mpg over 150 miles (in the rain!). So I definitely increased the MPG while riding in different conditions and multiple start stops. As for handling, the throttle feels "sharper" as it now has a more precise resolution. There used to be a "dead zone" right by the gas pedal. It's completely gone. Now I can hear my engine still gaining gas when it used to just close the throttle. It's like I have access to the 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% triggers when earlier it jumped from 0% to 5% instantly. Although it doesn't feel like adding a compressor. This improves throttle control and provides better gas mileage. Performance: I didn't notice any loss, that's for sure. If you are replacing a regular one, be sure to buy this one. Not sure if it's due to the higher pedal resolution or something else, but my heel counter says it's faster, shifts feel smoother/less noticeable and less erratic on climbs. I can't give exact numbers etc / and the end dynamometers aren't quantifiable but as soon as I get a chance to try again on a dry surface I'll check the acceleration as I blew off a tire at WOT in 1st, 2nd and 3rd got rolling when going up the ramp, which has never happened, either I was on an oil slick or have extra torque. I will continue after a few thousand miles.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
