Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Everyone, Could one of you experts that know for sure please verify if the location of the Air Temperature Sensor for Intake Manifold is the one I circled in the picture attached please. Also, this is what controls the engine compartment fan coming on if the engine area gets hot is that correct? Finally is it a simple matter to replace it by disconnecting the connector pulling out the sensor from the slot where it sits replace with new one and reconnecting? Thanks in advance.
