Re: Air Charge Temprature Sensor

return that sensor and ask for a new one. If it was ever dropped or mis handled it will malfunction. Seen it happen multiple times.

If that doesn't cure it, get a voltmeter and check resistance across the terminals to see if its a crimped wire somewhere.

Exchange the sensor first and see how that works, they are very delicate and can't be dropped and the glass sensor cant be touched

Re: Air Charge Temprature Sensor

is it possible the sensor is perfectly fine, but what it is "sensing" is the problem??

Re: Air Charge Temprature Sensor

Did you get 4.6 to 5 volts on the tan wire, (signal wire), ? If you did this indicates a bad sensor. If not then you have a short to ground somewhere along the signal wire to the PCM. Also check the sensor ground .
