http://www.freeengineinfo.com/air-temp-sensor.htm An air temperature sensor is used on fuel injected engines. The purpose of an air temperature sensor is to help the computer calculate air density. A change in temperature changes the resistance in the sensor. Simply stated, the higher the air temperature gets the less dense the air becomes. As the air becomes less dense the computer knows that it needs to lessen the fuel flow. If the fuel flow was not changed the engine would become rich, possibly losing power and consuming more fuel. The temp sender is generally located in the air inlet tube or the air box. The wire running to the sensor can be disconnected then the sensor can be unscrewed and replaced. Some aftermarket companies trick this sensor with a resistor (false temp reading) to make the engine run richer. If a engine has been tuned lean this trickery can show mild power gains.

Where is the iat intake air temperature sensor or the cts coolant temperature sensor located on a 1993 ford f150 5 liter?
it's on the intake manifold.
Where is the temperature gauge sensor on a 2002 f150?
The temperature gauge sensor on the 2002 F150 is located on the driver's side of the vehicle and under the intake. This is almost impossible to remove without removing the intake itself.
Where is the air intake temperature sensor located on an 89 ford f150?
The sensor is in the intake manifold (MFI engines) or air cleaner/tube (SFI engines).

In the ducting before the throtle body.
Where is the intake air temperature sensor located on a '93 Ford F150 5.0L?
It is located on the intake manifold next to the fuel rail.
Where is the intake air temperature sending unit located on an '01 f150?
It will be located on the air intake tube after the air filter and before the mass air flow sensor.
Location of 1994 ford f150 temp sensor?
The temperature sensor is located in the lower intake manifold. The air temperature sensor is located on the right hand side of the engine well against the wall just behind the battery.
Where is the engine coolant temperature sensor on a 1990 Ford F150?
Temperature Gauge Sending Unit The sending unit is located in the front section of the intake manifold in the vicinity of the thermostat.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor located in a 1999 Ford F150 V6 4.2?
The 1999 F150 4.2 does not have a temperature sensor. It uses a cylinder head temperature sensor instead. It is mounted at the rear of the engine on the head.
