Bruno;
        He's right, it is electronics and they do not do component level
repairs. Not cost efficient for them. But you can because it would most
likely be cost efficient for you. The thermistor in the intake air has
the same temp/resistance curve as the TEMPII sensor. I'll let you take it
from there.


Good Luck and Drive Safely
