The Intake Air Temperature sensor sends a reading to the main engine computer as to what temp the incoming air going into the engine is, for maximum engine fuel efficiency. On rio's, they often go bad due to their location in the intake manifold.. They are a bit tricky to get to, so take your time and use a 10mm socket with a 12-16" extension. They are located just to the right of the throttle body in the back area of the engine. Otherwise have a pro fix it.
