If the mass air flow sensor in a Chevy Silverado is operating outside the expected range, the truck will display a trouble code of p0101. The MAF sensor, responsible for supplying the engine with sufficient oxygen for combustion, plays a crucial role. A faulty MAF sensor can lead to various issues, such as stalling when idling due to engine choking, erratic acceleration, surging while driving, and potentially the car not starting at all from lack of initial air intake. Replacing the sensor is inexpensive, costing around $100 for both parts and labor. It is advisable to address this problem promptly upon receiving the trouble code.
