Not sure I'd like to run a car with a faulty IAT sensor. IIRC the ECU uses the temp to make a stab at air density so it can calculate the fuel needed for each charge.
That's my take on it but as usual I am probably wrong LOL

Isn't the IAT alongside the MAF and you have to order them as a single unit ? Where are you going to order from as there are cheaper places than a stealer

What car is it? Most of the IAT sensors are incorporated into the maf to read mass air flow, but there are the odd sti and jdm imports that come with plenum or air box IAT seperate sensors.

Importcarparts seem to be getting a good rep for OEM stuff at the moment, do a quick search one here and a few posts will come up...

for example
Otherwise Scoobyworld are very well known and I've had stuff from them in the past.
