The Manifold Temperature Sensor measures the temperature of the air entering the engine, which is important for determining the air density and adjusting the air-to-fuel ratio for optimal combustion. By accurately measuring the temperature of the intake air, the sensor helps the engine control unit make real-time adjustments to the fuel delivery and ignition timing, ensuring efficient combustion and maximum power output.

In cotton pickers, the Manifold Temperature Sensor is essential for maintaining the engine’s performance and preventing issues such as overheating, excessive fuel consumption, and emissions. By monitoring the intake air temperature, the sensor helps ensure that the engine operates within the ideal temperature range for efficient operation and longevity.
