Beck/Arnley Air Charge Temperature Sensor P/N:158-1425
Give your engine's computer an accurate read on incoming air with the Beck/Arnley Air Charge Temperature Sensor / Air Intake Temperature Sensor, MPN 158-1720. This sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the intake and reports it to the engine control module, which uses that signal to help adjust the air-fuel ratio and ignition timing as conditions change. It's an OE-quality replacement that matches the original's form, fit, and function so it installs in the factory location without modification. It's cataloged for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, including the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser [L4-2.4L], 2001-2006 Chrysler Sebring [L4-2.4L], 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 [V6-3.5L], 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber [L4-2.0L], 2006-2010 Dodge Charger [V6-2.7L], and 2007-2017 Jeep Compass [L4-2.4L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 63 applications.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include a check engine light, rough running, hard starting, or poor fuel economy. Because those symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the fault first; if a failed air charge temperature sensor is the cause, this unit replaces it. Thread sealer is not included. Sold as one; each listed application uses one. Country of origin: China.
