It breaks.
In a 1998 Mercury Villager, the mass air flow sensor is located in the air intake tube. The air intake tube goes from the air box to the intake.
the intake air temp sensor, goes in hose from air cleaner to throttle body!! disconnect electrical connector at sensor, then pull sensor from hose.
you didnt give a model of car, but more than likely it is on the air intake tube that goes to the intake manifold.
The wire that goes to the iat sensor is the red and black wire. the iat sensor is located on the air intake. The air intake is on the drivers side. There are five wires that are on the drivers side.
The air intake sensor is a resistor that goes to the PCM. A schematic can be found in a service manual
A faulty intake air temperature sensor can cause a number of issues in a vehicle. Among these problems are taking longer to start on cold mornings and increased consumption of fuel.
The intake air temperature sensor is located on the mass air flow sensor on the intake. There are five wires attached to the sensor.
the intake sensor located with the air flow sensor.
the intake air temp sensor for an 07 Silverado is built into the MAF sensor. The MAF is located on the air intake hose.
The 1997 Dodge Dakota air intake sensor can be found attached to the air cleaner housing. The air intake sensor will be on the inside of the air cleaner housing.
The 1998 Toyota Corolla air intake temperature sensor can be found on the air intake hose. The air intake hose will come from the air intake box and proceed to the engine.
The Ford Zx2, all years do not have an air intake temperature sensor. The MAF sensor/mass air flow sensor detects both the air temperature, and the air volume being inducted. The MAF sensor is located in the air cleaner box near where the hose goes toward the engine, and will have a bundle of wires going into it.
