Intake air temperature sensor gradient too high
Description
The intake air temperature (iat) sensor, mounted on the mass air flow (maf)
meter, monitors the iat.
The iat sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according
to the temperature of the
intake air. When the iat is low, the resistance of the thermist ...
