It looks like a little spike that goes into the air pipe just after your airbox. It is a MASSIVE pain in the arse to remove.
What are the symptoms Doc?

Steve it sounds like you are on about the inlet temperature sensor used on the X16XE and not the AFM used on the C16XE.
Which engine are we talking about?

X16XE doesnt have an AFM mate so you need to be looking elsewhere. When was the cambelt changed and is it still timed up correctly?

Not really no, these engine sorts the fuelling by the MAP sensor and a tiny correction is made according to the inlet tepmerature, you can unplug it if you want to see if that cures it because it should run fine with the inlet temperature sensor unplugged.
Has the car always done this since youve had it or is it a recent thing?
