Intake Air Temperature Sensor Replacement GM 3.8L V-6 Series 2

In this video I'll show you how to replace an intake air temperature sensor on a GM 3.8L V-6 series 2. The series 2 fits in a mirriad of GM vehicles. The particular vehicle featured in this video is an 01 Pontiac Bonneville. Note: procedure and location of sensor may differ from year to year and from model to model.

The intake air temperature sensor is the sensor responsible for informing the PCM what temperature the air is entering the engine. This helps the PCM determine the density of the air and further helps the PCM calculate the most efficient air fuel ratio.

While this sensor, in my opinion, seems to be very durable and typically outlast all the other sensors on the vehicle, it can and does go out. I hope this video helps in repairing your vehicle.
