Intake Air Temperature Sensor, Turbo

Fig. 30 Intake Air Temperature Sensor & Resistance Graph:







The intake air temperature sensor, Fig. 30, is located in the intake manifold, behind the throttle plate. The resistance signal is used by the control unit to correct the ignition timing for the temperature of the intake air when manifold pressure is above 1.0 bar (boost conditions).
