Airflow Sensor

1990 Eagle Talon Base, AutomaticSECTION Airflow Sensor
  1. Airflow sensor is located inside air cleaner assembly. Disconnect airflow sensor electrical connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between airflow sensor terminals No. 4 and 6 (non-turbo models) or No. 6 and 8 (turbo models). See Fig 1 .
  2. Resistance should be approximately 6000 ohms at 32°F (0°C), 2700 ohms at 68°F (20°C) and 400 ohms at 176°F (80°C). Note that as temperature increases resistance decreases.
  3. If airflow sensor resistance is not as specified, or if resistance remains unchanged, replace airflow sensor.

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
