Fast reacting IAT sensor replaces stock sensor

Saying they WILL fail at a certain mileage with your limited experience with the sensors seems presumptuous to me. You only ordered the sensor from me about a year ago, and given that I've moved over 400 of these in the last few years and have been in contact with the customers and rotary shops all around the world that have installed the sensor and have had nothing but good things to say is evidence of the quality of the sensors. See when something is deemed doomed to fail as you put it in your post then you hear bad things not good things. More people are anxious to post their negative results in using a product rather then their good results. So I'm very shocked for you to claim seeing 2 of these fail when I'm fairly certain I've had much more experience with them.

Saying something WILL fail at xx miles is a bold claim and I'm sure many members on this board can also attest to a fully functional sensors beyond those miles. Personally I put about 8k miles on my car every year so I'm beyond the point at which my sensor was supposed to fail according to you. (stock location) Must be lucky I guess. Also, it seemed to me you were in the beginning stage of selling the sensors yourself or recommending a particular source that is affiliated with you, so I thought maybe your intentions were motivated by $ signs. Anyways that's unfortunate you had such bad luck with the sensors I've never seen that before. Strange

Yes I see your points.

For me remember I have covered ~10,000km in less than a year remember daily driver. This is why I don't quote "time" it's rather what you do in that time that is much more important. Also the cycles from cold to hot, true street use all has an effect, rather than just getting in and covering 10,000km straight........... bit like rotaries passing bench tests NSU/Mazda style then failing at 1/3rd the distance when use in the real world by owners and not in a laboratory

Regardless, if you send me an E-Mail I will send back the failed sensor for you to see yourself on my own car, cause that is the one I can vouch for 100% myself in the time I used it and km's covered, happy to send you other matching information logging its use off the ECU as well.

The sensors them selves look o.k. (build finish etc) but the bit I don't like on any of them is how weak and flexible the "element" is, it is easy to see how it could fail in "time".

Like I said its not an attack on you or for me to sell others etc, I have no interest in that at all, just so when they do break (some rotary owners will never ever reach 10,000km or more of true daily use) then you know that at least someone else has told you what the problem is.

I do come across all kinds of similar things "that no one else has ever discovered"....... this is not the first time and def will not be the last I'd say based off experience.
