The Intake Manifold Temperature sensor must be installed correctly in the air duct or housing. The sensor is located on the air filter housing or air inlet ducting. To remove the sensor, disconnect the electrical connector and turn it 1/4-turn counterclockwise before pulling it out. Replace the O-ring if necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Disconnect the negative battery cable and the electrical connector from the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor. Remove the air filter housing cover and the fresh air inlet duct. Using diagonal cutters, cut off the small steel band securing the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor to the fresh air inlet duct, then pull the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor straight out of its mounting pipe. Install a new steel band on the pipe for the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor, place the new Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor in the fresh air inlet duct, and crimp the band with CV joint band crimping pliers or use a conventional hose clamp if those are unavailable, ensuring it is tightened securely. The installation process follows the reverse order of removal.

Reverse the removal process.

Remove the IAT sensor by pulling it out of the air intake duct.

To install the IAT sensor, insert it into its mounting hole and rotate it clockwise 1/4-turn, making sure the release tab locks the sensor into place. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal.

Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the mounting screws are tightened securely.

Inspect the condition of the sensor O-ring. If it is cracked, torn or otherwise deteriorated, replace it.
