Intake Air Temp Sensor 1 circut range performance. Can someone please let me know how i can get this fixed. is it just one sensor? I found an air sensor on partsgeek for like 25 bucks. but i want to make sure its right before i go and buy it. What are the side effects from having this problem? I am having other issues with the car such as reving itself, not wanting to start sometimes, when you start up the car in the morning its weezes really loud (was told it was just the air intake) I just want to know if those problems are from the sensor, or maybe from something else. This was the only code on the car. Thanks guys.

I would replace it and it will most likely solve all your issues. It is normally located in the air filter box. ***Edit*** What car are we working with? Year and Model. Thanks...I will look for a better sensor.... Best John Smith Quote: Originally Posted by kdegeorge88 This is the code that came up. Intake Air Temp Sensor 1 circut range performance.

I think there may be a crack in a hose somewhere aswell. i can hear wistling coming from the intake. the part comes in today, so I will do my best to fix it. any advice or do you know where i can find directions so i know i DONT do it wrong. haha I am also going to try and change the air fliter to see if that helps too.
