DTC P0113 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Circuit High Voltage
I reset the code and it comes back after a few miles. Should I replace the sensor and hope it quits acting up or is there another problem that needs to be addressed? EMail me at EFLINT49@YAHOO.COM with any suggestions, or post a response (it will just take a little longer for me to get the information). Thanks guys/gals!

Sounds to me youre Intake Air Temperature sensor it no longer working, I would also check the wiring connector, And splices into the wires as well, I am pretty sure if you replace the sensor that will correct youre problems.
Im just afraid that the sensor is going to cost like $80 or something rediculous so I'm looking for alternate solutions. Anybody have one?
thank you for the response though, RickWeeks.

i got the same code....mine only comes on when its over 90 outside
First, verify the connections and wiring between the sensor and the PCM (ECM). An open circuit can cause this code. If the wiring/connections are all good, then the sensor is the likeliest cause. There are really only three things in the circuit: the sensor, the connections/wiring, and the PCM. Which would you rather change, the sensor or the PCM? The only other option is to get a very good scan tool (about $200) that can read live data and using a service manual, you may be able to determine exactly what is going on.
EDIT - You could also temporarily borrow a sensor from a similar vehicle to see if it corrected your problem. Or you could get one out of a junkyard, maybe. Or you could temporarily hook up a 3K ohm resistor (approx 75 degrees F) in place of the sensor and see if the code will go away.

If im not mistaken ... I think they are around 30ish maybe even 40ish at the most at the dealership. I tried looking at an auto parts store, but they didnt find anything.

thanks for all the tips everybody. for now im going to clear the code again and borrow a friends sensor to see if it trips the code again. if the CEL comes on again I will just ignore it or something. then use the OBDII Scanner on it every once in awhile to make sure no OTHER codes were tripped too.
on a side note, could this sensor negatively affect my performance? I'm going to the track tomorrow with the car in hopes of hitting a 15.7 (1/4 mile) in my so called "stock" cavalier. (im a fatass too so a 15.7 is a damn good run for me)
