Croma intake air temperature sensor issue

I'm getting seriously frustrated with my 2009 Fiat Croma (gasoline engine). The check engine light is constantly on, and the car feels like it's lost half its power! I scanned the error memory, and it shows a faulty intake air temperature sensor. On top of that, the engine runs super rough. Has anyone experienced something similar? What did you do? I'm not an expert!

That sounds familiar! I've got a Croma too, and had the exact same symptoms a while back. Check engine light, sluggish performance. Was it also rough idling?

Yeah, you nailed it! Rough idling is definitely part of the problem. So, it really was the intake air temperature sensor for you too? What was the fix in your case?

Yep, for me it was the intake air temperature sensor 100%! I'm no mechanic but I reckon yours sounds exactly the same. Honestly, I’d get it to a workshop. They can confirm it properly and get it sorted. It's probably cheaper in the long run!

Thanks! I took your advice and went to a workshop. Turns out you were spot on – it was indeed the intake air temperature sensor. They replaced it, and everything is running smoothly now. Cost me 155€ all in. Appreciate the help!
