2G MAS problem

[dsmulla]

Ok guys, the car threw me a CEL P0110 IAT (intake air temperature sensor) malfunction. Just wondering how do I go about diagnosing that. All the wires on the MAS plug look fine to me and I also looked at VFAQ and the 2G MAS wiring diagram. I do understand that PIN 8 there is nothing, thats what intially I thought was the problem. Now I searched and I found out that the sensor itself is actually inside the MAS. Any suggestions?

Also the car does not boost at at all. It reaches 0 psi from -20 vaccum and just stutters. The IAT malfucntion would be causing that right?

All help is appreciated it!
