my engine light is on and i just called Firestone mastercare service and those a$$hol3Z told me it was going to be 85 dollars to get my car checked out, diagnosed (odb II) when autozone does it for free.... wow i told em that i know the error code (p0110) so idk if i should let em fix my problem or get it done somewhere else.

you can do it for free, look at the 4th gen FAQ's...you can check the codes yourself, and find out how to fix it...or buy a haynes manual, it's in there, too.

dude check you air temp sensor...its probably not plugged in or its bad!!!

0401
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0401 points to a problem with the Intake Air Temperature Sensor. The IATS is mounted in the engine air intake duct, downstream of the air cleaner filter. It detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to the Engine Control Module. The sensor uses a thermistor, a resistor with a value which is inversely proportional to temperature. The IATS is not directly used to control the engine. It is used only for diagnostic purposes. Therefore the engine should start and run normally, even with the Malfunction Indicator Light on and DTC 0401 stored.
This malfunction is detected when ...
a) An excessively low or high voltage from the sensor is detected by the ECM.
b) The signal from the IATS is inconsistent with the signal received from the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
Possible causes include ...
- Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted.)
- a faulty Intake Air Temperature Sensor
The IATS resistance values should be ...
- at 14 degrees F, 7.0-11.4 Kohms
- at 68 degrees F, 2.1-2.9 Kohms
- at 176 degrees F, 0.27-0.38 Kohms
For further information about the Intake Air Temperature Sensor please refer to the Chilton repair manual (page 4-16) or the Haynes repair manual (page 6-11).

It only came up with an 0110 code? If autozone does it for free, why not take it there? Once you know what it is, you might be able to just do it yourself. I really don't understand the point of your post - you know you need more information and where to get it.

IIRC isnt it that little sensor that screws into your airbox? should have some flimsy 20 gauge or so wire coming out of it.

Anybody actually tried AutoZone?

You are right, Firestone are that stingy, charging a minimum $85 just to check what's wrong and even more $$$$ to fix it . Try to see if you can fix it yourself to save a lot of money.

it's the sensor that connects to the snorkel part of the stock air intake.
