Default Re: Intake Air Temp. Sensor

The problem is the physical construction of the sensor. It provide a voltage based on resistance values for a given temperature range.
In other words, it is not a true thermometer. It is just a piece of metal that alters voltage output to the ecm based on temp changes in a very narrow temperature range window.

If it was a true wideband thermometer, the idea of programming the ECM to respond accordingly would be valid.
