Autozone has them for way cheaper than the dealer. It's a 2 minute job and extremely easy. I say do it yourself.sigpic -

The IAT is the Intake Air Temperature Sensor.
Do you have a code going off that you can have scanned (for free at autozone) to make sure that sensor is bad? Maybe try to confirm with scan first and then install it yourself. Pretty much all the sensors are WAY easy and you could change them all yourself with non dealer priced over the counter local parts store sensors for less than a dealership would charge you just to scan the car and 'diagnose' it before they charge you whatever ungodly amount of money for the part and to put it in. (phew)
A dealership is your last resort... but you already know that.Comment
