Air charge temp. sensor
I looked for a specific post concerning this, but didn't see anything that would give me a direct answer for this. My '92 F-150 I-6 300 has the ACT (Air Charge Temperature Sensor) located directly in the intake manifold. This weekend I pulled it, and was really shocked to see that is was gummed up, and the intake manifold was pretty gunky too...I have pics, so if anyone has an idea as to why it's so gunky in there, Im curious, though with it being 14 years old and going on 97,000 miles, probably in the range of being about right. The main question I have got to ask, is whether or not it would be feasible to move the location from the intake manifold to the air box, or would that counteract it's effect on emissions stemming from the change in temp, versus, rich or lean? If anyone knows of any ideas, suggestions, or comments, I'm very interested to hear. If anyone has done this, I would like to know what the effects were, whether good or bad.

Thanks for the suggestion optikal, I think I will leave it. Just wish I had the time to pull the intake manifold, and clean it, maybe I will sometime in the future. Hate to see things gunked up.

Thanks for the suggestion Optikal. I'm just gonn aleave it where it sits in the manifold. I'll pull every so often to see how it looks and if it's gunked up, clean it. I just hate to see things gunked up. Maybe I'll have time to pull the intake maifold in the future and get it clean.

But you can't complain about getting 97K out of a sensor either....
