Ok your a genius and good at guessing now go back to using petroleum based lubricant on rubber o-rings instead of rubber grease

Air temp sensor Maybe the "Other name" is the right one. If it is the one that is being named then it is the Air Temp Sensor or IAT (Intake Air Temp ) Sensor. There is no Air Fuel Mixture sensor in the intake manifold. |

There is no Air Fuel Mixture sensor in the intake manifold. I only mentioned air/fuel sensor because cold air will compress meaning that when cold this sensor eg.air temp sensor or IAT (techical name) will tell the computer,or ECU (technical name)to put more fuel into engine when air is cold. Hot air expands so when hot less fuel would be needed. Only a slight difference but still there. Still not sure look up cold air induction. |

What the sensor does was not in question, just the naming of it. The correct name of an Air Temp Sensor, not Air fuel Mixture sensor. |
