What is the purpose of the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor for the Honda Prelude?

The ECM/PCM uses the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor to keep an eye on the air temperature in the intake manifold which helps it decide when to spark as well as how much fuel to allow. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor's wiring harness. Measure the resistance between terminals, compare with chart results, and if resistance is not correct, sensor replacement is necessary. Replace by removing battery connections, unscrew the sensor and install a new one having Teflon sealant on its threads.

Honda Prelude Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor

The Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor is a complex component in Honda Prelude that controls the airing and fuel supplies for excellent combustion. This sensor is used together with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor which measures the amount of air that is being drawn into the engine and send this information to the PCM. From the data received, the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) then edits the fuel injector timing and hence assisting in the right air-fuel mixture. Honda has used a variety of Intake Manifold Temperature Sensors in the Prelude over the years, each built to read the AFM at set airflow rates and fuel injectors. Differences between these sensors may be driven by their calibration and compatibility with the post-buy modifications like air intake system or throttle body. Again, Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor should be vital in Honda Prelude because of problems like poor acceleration and wrong air-fuel mixes, among others.
