Note On Intermittents

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Manipulate circuit No. 472 wiring, IAT sensor connector and PCM connector while observing PCM data PD05. If failure is induced, manifold air temperature will jump from its normal value to a shorted reading of 148-151°C. Check IAT and PCM connectors and ensure that they are properly latched. If wiring and connectors are okay, substitute a known good IAT sensor and retest.
