What is the Manifold Temperature Sensor all about?

Air is the single most important element for a running engine, even more so than fuel or oil. Without a flow of fresh, clean air, combustion cannot take place, and your engine cannot operate. However, simply ensuring that airflow can reach the intake is not enough. The car’s computer needs to know a lot of information about the temperature and quality of air entering the intake. The manifold temp sensor is responsible for determining the temperature of the air, and providing that information to the computer.

The computer will determine the density of the air and adjust the fuel flow to meet that. Depending on the make and model you drive, your car may have more than one manifold temp sensor. For instance, if you have a split manifold, you’ll have a sensor for each part. Like all other sensors on your car, the manifold temp sensor is subject to high heat and wear and tear. Electrical problems such as shorts and broken wires augment the list of potential troubles.

Keep in mind:

  • The manifold temp sensor is not part of any maintenance inspection.
  • The sensor can fail due to damage to the sensor or the wiring harness.
  • A failed sensor will activate your Check Engine light.

How it's done:

  • The air cleaner is removed for access
  • The defective manifold temperature sensor is removed
  • The new manifold temperature is installed and connected
  • The air cleaner assembly is reinstalled
  • The vehicle is started and checked for coolant leaks and sensor operation

Our recommendation:

Your manifold temp sensor is subject to considerable temperature extremes and will eventually fail. Without this component and the information it provides, the computer cannot determine the density of air entering the intake, resulting in an imbalanced air/fuel mixture. This causes rich or lean operation; both circumstances will damage the engine. If you suspect a problem with the manifold temperature sensor or experience the symptoms, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose the sensor.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Manifold Temperature Sensor?

  • Check Engine light is on
  • Erratic engine operation due to incorrect air/fuel ratio

How important is this service?

Having an operational manifold temp sensor is critical for vehicle operation. If your Check Engine light is on, or you experience fuel or acceleration related problems, this may be the cause. Because many other problems display similar symptoms, it is important to work with our expert mechanics to diagnose the actual issue and make the necessary repairs.

Lexus GX470 V8-4.7L - Air Spring Bag Replacement (Driver Side Rear, Passenger Side Rear) - Richardson, Texas
Overall a great experience. My original scheduled appointment had apparently been overbooked in Alex’s schedule through the your mechanic system. He had to reschedule me for the next day, but gave me a discount for the inconvenience. When Alex arrived, he was friendly& informative. I was having the rear suspension airbags replaced (I had purchased the parts myself, as I found the parts I wanted at a better price online). Alex was able to quickly replace the airbags, but ran into a little trouble when trying to inflate them. Apparently the compressor that controls them will shut itself off if it senses too much of a leak (to keep it from burning out the motor). The compressor needs to be reset. It took several attempts with different reset procedures, but Alex kept me up to date along the way, and eventually got it working. The total time for the service was about 2 1/2hrs, but at least half of that was troubleshooting the compressor. The physical replacement of the suspension airbags is pretty straight forward, and I had considered doing the job myself, but had I done that, I would have been lost on the compressor reset, and would have likely wasted lots of extra time & money to get that issue fixed. Even without that added trouble, the cost of the service was well worth it to save me the time & trouble underneath the vehicle in the cold weather we’ve had lately.
