    Default IAT sensor going bad?

    my car is throwing codes.. its the intake air temperature sensor.. i have an aftermarket intake manifold.. skunk2 IM... the check engine light comes on every now and then.. once a week maybe.. not very often.. my car is 98 integra...

    I'm trying to get my car tuned.. trying not to run into problems... soooo

    I'm just wondering if i should replace it or clean it.. or check the ohms? i don't know.. and where is this sensor at?? can anyone get pictures?? and where could i maybe get the replacement?

    thanks

    just hook up a scan tool from auto zone and see what the reading is on it. i had to replace mine yesterday. IAT circuit imput voltage high was the code i was getting. the sensor was always reading -40 degrees F. lol popped the new one in and it read 127 degrees.

    yah the scanners they use just pull codes. they arent going to be able to do much more.
