Genuine Pontiac Torrent Air Temperature Sensor

The Pontiac Torrent Air Temperature Sensor assists the engine computer in balancing fuel and oxygen by providing the computer with precise intake air data. Acting much like the MAF device described, this Air Temperature Sensor provides constant updates to the powertrain control module so that injector timing can remain matched to actual driving conditions such as quick throttle changes or cold morning starts. Its basic mechanism is a small sensing element placed in the intake stream, with heat generated by an internal wire changing as air passes by, so that changes in resistance can be converted directly into temperature signals that the module can read. If dirt coats the element or any leak allows unmeasured air to sneak in after the sensor, the mixture may run rich or lean, causing hesitation, stalling, and that glowing Check Engine lamp. Earlier Pontiac builds applied a vane style meter with a swinging door while later Pontiac Torrent editions preferred the hot wire style, one difference between the two being the moving door can stick when dirty whereas the hot wire has no mechanical parts and is more durable and responsive. A clean Air Temperature Sensor, an airtight intake path, and timely check of fault codes keep this part providing smooth power and mileage. Regular inspection of the Air Temperature Sensor prevents misleading airflow readings, and replacing a damaged Air Temperature Sensor restores the performance drivers expect from a Torrent.
