Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor that is inserted into the incoming air stream, immediately before the fuel
injectors. The PCM receives the data from the IAT, and adjusts the fuel injection duration needed to run the engine at optimum
efficiency. When intake air is cold, the sensor resistance is high. As the air temperature rises, resistance lowers. Outside air
temperature directly affects the engine intake air temperature.
