Where would one of these be located? It says something about the air cleaner but i dont know. This is on a metro, and its not mine ive never heard of such thing.It needs it to pass emissions though, i ordered one but havnt received it yet.

post a pic of it. the MAF is on the air filter, but the air temp sensor should be on the intake manifold somewheres. look right around the area the intake goes on the top of the motor from the hose.

match your ordered part to what is there

 
What type of vehicle is this BTW?
97 geo metro. i dont have the sensor yet, i was looking at one that looked similar to the picture in the general location your saying, but when i unplugged it the car wouldnt start...so i assumed it was working? or maybe it just has to be plugged in?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 
You can see mine, right below and to the left of that hockey puck.

you have many sensors that it could be. what does you car do, or NOT do maybe I should say.

I am assuming you are having idle problems?

 
Dont notice any problems really. Its not my car though, and she doesnt really know shit about cars so she wouldnt know. I just know it needs it to pass emission and needs inspected wednesday. I think what i found kinda looks like that.If not, ill just have to look harder i guess

 
Let me guess, OBDII says that the sensor is bad? Why can't an emissions check check emissions rather than just asking the car's computer if it thinks everything is OK? Last I checked the OBD computer in the car didn't actually monitor the level of pollutants coming out the tailpipe.

I was so glad when my county got rid of eCheck. I've been pulling shit left and right.

Unfortunately that means my car will probably only be acceptable to use at a race track when I move. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Here in California they even check the gas cap!

an engine light came on in my dads new silverado saying his gas cap wasnt on the whole way, the book said something about it actually mattering if you had one or not though....i dont really know the physics behind a gas cap though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
