Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
Two (2) temperature sensors are used to provide temperature information to the ECM.
One sensor is mounted in each cylinder head.
The ECM uses this information to increase injector pulse width for cold starts and to retard
timing in the event of an over-heat condition. Should a temperature sensor fail, the ECM
will default to a temperature value of 32 ° F (0 ° C).

Air Temperature Sensor
The air temperature sensor is mounted on top of the air plenum. The ECM regulates fuel
flow, in part, based on manifold air temperature. As air temperature increases, the ECM
decreases fuel flow. Should the air temperature sensor fail, the ECM will default to a tem-
perature value of 32 ° F (0 ° C).
