hi anyone got any idea where abouts i can find the air intake temp sensor on my 2001 seicento sproting?
photos and diagrams would help.

thanks.

if its SPI then look at the link, its item 3 on the diagram/list

Or, if MPI, it's the 4 pin sensor on the plastic plenum chamber (combined with the MAP sensor).

Huh?
Ok - Didn't know that

What's the 2 pin connector that sits below it then?

You knew that Been mentioned about 2-3 times in your threads now lol

Got a pic of the 2 pin sensor? Can't remember what was there now, this it may be the soleniod for the charcoal cannister?

lol I always thought you meant that 2nd sensor was AIT...
...forgive my innocence - but what's a charcoal canister when it's at home?





Connects to the block via a hole held in with a c clip, and on the other side a blue pipe hooks up to it on that long shaft, and stays put with the help of some green button thing that you squeeze to remove it....

No idea what that is! Can't find one on this MPI plenum, anyway, only MAP/AT and the green water temperature sender.

Is it on the TB?

It sits directly below the MAP if you look down on the engine compartment - the blue piping leads off round the back of the firewall, and dissapears into the passenger wing somewhere...

I was right

That is the solenoid (ie switch) that controls air from the charcoal cannister.

TO stop hydrocarbons leaking into the atmosphere, the furel tank is sealed (unlike on older cars).

The fumes gather at teh top of the tank.

A the top of the tank there is a hose that travel all the way to the wheel arch lineer. In there is a charcoal cannister. Which is simply that. A box with charcoal in it, and inlet and an outlet.

The inlet to the cannister comes from the tank, the outlet goes to the solenoid, and then to the air intake.

The solenoid is switched on and off, and the manifold pressure draws gas through the cannister, form the tank, under ceratin ECU conditions.

This is then burnt off, as it is combusted.

Thak help you?

Cheers,

Kristian

PS. It's on all the mpi
