| B65 Intake Manifold Pressure and Air Temperature Sensor | The assembly has several functions: Pressure The signal voltage increases when the pressure increases. Temperature The temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, a resistor which changes based on temperature.
The intake air temperature sensor 1 and the intake manifold pressure sensor are integrated in the same housing, which is located behind the throttle body. The sensor measures the temperature and pressure in the intake manifold between the throttle valve and the intake valves. |
| K20 Engine Control Module | The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly. |
The sensor measures the pressure in the intake manifold. The signal is used to determine the engine load. When the engine is idling or decelerating, the sensor pressure should be low. When the engine is off or under wide-open throttle conditions the pressure should be the same or close to the barometric pressure.
