Default Re: Intake Air Temp. Sensor

I absolutely agree with the above. My intake air temp sensor regularly reads in the low 100's in the stock location. If you move yours to the cold air position, it will think it's too lean and dump fuel creating a rich condition.
Then, the 02's will sense a rich condition and try to force the injectors to go lean again.
It will go into a loop, and run crappy. That's a technical term!
good luck!

update: here's the code you will see...
54 (orc*): ACT (Air Charge Temperature)/IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor voltage too high, indidcating -40degF. Suspect shorted sensor, harness.
