Cars Air Charge Sensor

If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

The Air Charge Sensor is Usually located in the intake manifold, it measures the temperature of incoming fresh air and then relays this information to the computer. When the outside air is cold, the air charge sensor signals the ECC (engine control computer) also known as ECM (engine control module) or ECU (electronic control unit) to enrich the fuel/air mixture. When the outside air is warm, it signals the ECC to lean out the fuel and air mixture.

This is how the air charge sensor looks :----


You can buy this sensor from Autozone service centers.
