Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) Sensor
The manifold intake air temperature sensor is a thermistor that controls a signal voltage to the ECM. It is located near the air
entrance of the throttle body. It informs the ECM of the air temperature before the air enters the intake manifold. The ECM
adjusts the fuel injection duration needed to run the engine at optimum efficiency according to the MAT information. When
intake air is cold, the sensor resistance is high. As the air temperature rises, resistance lowers.
