Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What size socket for the IAT in a 2001 ETH?

[Sageair]

I just tried to remove the IAT on my 2001 ETH . The largest deep well socket I have is a 7/8 and it's too small. If anybody knows I'd appreciate it

Answer 13/16 inches or 22 mm will work just fine torque 10 ft lbs Ron Bissett in LOUISVILLE KY thats 13 not 11 sorry thanks for your answer. Ron

Ron, I believe that is a 13/16th.

I used a spark plug socket in 13/16ths and it worked good.

Maybe I'm not looking at the right sensor the one I thought was the IAT is in the block under the intake manifold on the drivers side. The electrical plug is too large to allow me to get even a deep well socket o it or am I all hosed up? (it's happened b4)

might help if you took the electrical plug off first... . <G><G>

Thanks for the help. I had been looking at the map sensor and not the IAT sensor. The pictures helped a bunch. Once again thank you

Thanks wheelintoy for that link. I was able to quickly locate mine. I have 90k and no exht brake so it wasn't nearly as dirty as that one one the link. But, none the less, it did have a carbon buildup on it. It was amaizing how clean it came out after two squirts of carb cleaner.



I am one of those people plagued with the 16 mpg. I have only an EZ and no matter how soft I drive it, I have never gone over 16mpg. It doesn't bother me that much, but this will be interesting to see if I break over that 16 mpg milestone.

Torque is more like 10-12 Newton meters,

10 ft lbs will probably break that little puppy!
