Took the truck to Auto Zone to check the code on my latest check engine light. Code is P0113. Text reads "input from the intake air temperature sensor is higher than expected for the current engine operating conditions". Talked to a friend at the dealer, he claims that the temp sensor in the air box is the culprit - just check for loose wires and clean. Anyone have any other experience with this one? Not sure I want to replace a $150 sensor if I don't have to. Thanks | ||

yep he's on the right track. clean with contact cleaner. make sure the thermistor in the center is clean and dry before start up, check the plug that connects to the sensor. this connector as well as the MAF connector tend to take a beating because of where they are located. make sure that the wires are not broken and the connectors are makng good contact. when you find that these are in good shape, it's time to pony up some cash. if you're worried about the money, check a wrecking yard. but remember, you get what you pay for. hope that helps, marc | ||

Marc, Thanks. I think I'm out of the woods though. Light cleared after cleaning, re-connecting, and some good hard wheeling today. The only problen is that I traded my sensor problem for a trashed tie rod. Oh well. Al least you can bend metal. |
