Signs of a Faulty intake air temperature (IAT) sensor

Importance of the IAT Sensor:
"The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor plays a crucial role in your car's engine performance. It measures the temperature of the incoming air and relays this information to the engine control unit (ECU). Based on these readings, the ECU adjusts the fuel-to-air ratio for optimal combustion. When the IAT sensor malfunctions, it can lead to various noticeable symptoms."
Symptoms of a Bad IAT Sensor:
"Here are the common signs that indicate a faulty IAT sensor:
a. Check Engine Light: One of the most noticeable symptoms is the illumination of the check engine light on your car's dashboard. The ECU detects irregularities in the IAT sensor's readings and triggers the warning light to alert you of a problem.
b. Engine Performance Issues: A malfunctioning IAT sensor can significantly affect your car's engine performance. Look out for the following indications:
Poor Acceleration: If you notice a lack of power or sluggishness during acceleration, it could be due to a faulty IAT sensor. Incorrect temperature readings can cause the engine to receive an improper fuel-to-air mixture, resulting in reduced performance.
Rough Idling: An IAT sensor that provides inaccurate readings may result in rough idling. The engine may fluctuate in RPM (revolutions per minute) or feel unstable when the car is stationary.
Engine Misfires: In some cases, a malfunctioning IAT sensor can lead to engine misfires. The incorrect fuel-to-air ratio caused by the faulty sensor can disrupt the combustion process, resulting in misfires and a noticeable decrease in engine smoothness.
c. Decreased Fuel Efficiency: A bad IAT sensor can cause the engine to receive an incorrect fuel mixture, leading to decreased fuel efficiency. If you find yourself visiting the gas station more frequently or notice a sudden drop in your car's mileage, it could be attributed to a faulty IAT sensor.
d. Stalling or Hesitation: Another symptom of a malfunctioning IAT sensor is engine stalling or hesitation during acceleration. The incorrect temperature readings can cause the ECU to deliver an incorrect fuel mixture, resulting in engine instability.
