Ambient air temp sensor
nothing unless you reprogram the computer.
it sends the engine temp to the computer tells if it is hot or cold ....

A cold air intake will increase your horse power
There is a theory that the cold air is actually bad for fuel economyIt has to do with the idea of air density at different temperatures changing the energy loss from the compression of the intake charge.Basically at low throttle settings you will get better economy if the intake air is hotAt high power settings you will get better power and economy with cold dense air from you cold air intake. So under heavy work conditions the cold air intake helps, puttering around with no load its going to be worse.The ComputerThe computer will turn on the check engine light and set a code if it can't adjust to the change, so I discount this idea.
Cold air intake is better because it's denser.
You will not damage your engine if you remove its cold air intake. The cold air intake system is merely added to increase engine efficiency and performance.
A cold air intake is an aftermarket part used to help open air flow to the engine. The cold air intake sucks up cold air from underneath the car and is attached to your intake manifold. So it is a pipe going from somewhere close to the bottom of the engine compartment leading to your intake manifold.
Yes a cold air intake could be used in any car
If you are meaning that you are having to spin the starter longer to get it to crank on a cold morning then more than likely the coolant temperature sensor needs to be replaced. There are two sensors relating to the temperature of the engine. One gives a signal for the guage and the other for the computer. The one for the computer should be right beside the thermostat housing. It is what tells the computer that it is cold and the computer adjusts your fuel for a cold start.

I would recommend putting a cold air intake in your es.
