V-8 Intake Air Temp Sensor

[aaserv]

Cant find where this is located on the V-8. All the breakdowns I find show a sensor going into the intake airduct. I see it on the 6cyl but Ive got 2 intake setups for 03+04 V-8 and I dont see it on either. Built into the mass airflow sensor maybe?

Just got a scan tool and notice this air intake temp is always a good 10 degs higher than the outside air temp. Is that normal since the air is pulling from under the hood?

The air temp sensor for the digital climate control? I know theres one that sits behind the grill by the GMC emblem.

no its a sensor that records the temp of the air entering the intake manifold...

Cannot answer where it is located but I would say it is normal to read higher....as you say, underhood.

Do you have a MAF? It would be in there if you have one.

Thats what I thought. After posting this it seemed to me I remembered seeing the thermistor hanging in the windstream when I cleaned it. Had to be where it was. Think 1st post 2nd needs to be my new theme....lol
