Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor

The Intake manifold temperature sensor is vital because it calculates the temperature of the air of the intake manifold's interior.

Intake manifold temperature sensor function

The intake manifold sensor computes the temperature of the air in the intake manifold, while other sensors calculate the temperature of air accessing the engine. The manifold temperature sensor gives you crucial data for the Powertrain control modules, like the capacity to measure the amount of EGR flow traveling into the engine by computing the temperature increase inside the manifold. With the calculated data, the Powertrain control module can also modify the amount of fuel being introduced on turbocharged engines.

Common issues with a faulty intake manifold temperature sensor

A faulty intake manifold temperature sensor can lead to rough idle, high emission production, and a decline in engine power.
