Intake Air Temp Sensor 2 (intercooler)

[Mrmal]

Gday guys, car has pulled all fuel during running and whilst not in limp it has no real pull. 2007 1kd, tracked it back to an IAT of 0 degrees on both air temp sensors. It did have one code of P0098 which indicates a fault on the intercooler side.

Question - has anyone experienced this? The earth resistance according to the service manual is not per spec - wiring issue or an ECU issue, any help appreciated.

Cheers
Mal

Is that part# 8942460010 ?

It could be covered in oil. I can't remember reading about problems with them but my memory isn't great. They are however $58 plus freight for the genuine part from partsouq

Hey mate have tried three different sensor and both airbox and intercooler have same issue so not likely oil....

Oil can occur on the intercooler sensor unless to have $100 percent efficient catch can. The sensor at the airbox can fail or get dirty - there is a test somewhere for that.

Also, if you have a blanking plate or any other mod, these can play havoc with these sensors eg:
