JFP, please correct me...

I was under the impression that the MAF sensor measured ambient temperature then letting the "computer" do its calculations for proper air/fuel mixture.

I thought the front sensor was just for the OBC... you know... ****************s and giggles.

Thank you.

The MAF sensor reads intake air temperature, the ambient temp sensor is behind the grill.

Hi I have found a small grommet in the bumper which I believe the sensor is supposed to be and have taken the bumper off again in an effort to find it. I am looking behind the horns and around that area but cannot see it. Is that the right place to be looking? Thanks
