The air temperature sensor has a key role in the car's production of the right amount of air-fuel ratio.
Air temperature sensor functionThe air temperature sensor is utilized in fuel-injected engines and it can be found in the intake manifold. The sensor can calculate the density of the air that enters the car's engine. The mixture of air and fuel allows for combustion and supplies the power necessary to run the vehicle. The data is transmitted to the ECU, which tells the system to utilize the precise amount of fuel and generate a perfect air-fuel mixture.
Common issues with a faulty air temperature sensorA defective air temperature sensor can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and engine misfires.
