What could cause a sensor to do this???

[Mad Mike]

Its the Intake air temp sensor for a D16Z6. I was sitting in traffic about a month and a half ago and my CEL came on. It was a code 10.

Just got around to replacing it because the motor I pulled out of a car a few weeks ago had one in it.

:eek:

its no big deal. its plastic thats probably 15 yrs old. its bound to deteriorate.

backfiring can do it.
