update on rough idle/bad mpg

hi guys,just an update.went back to ford yesterday.They checked computer they had installed last weak.It apparently showed the air temp sensor not working correctly.
What do you think? Is this a true possibility for idle and bad mpg??
They will install new on next weak,hope they are right.I will keep you all posted with the results.

Yes it could be a problem.
If the PCM thinks the air is a different temperature than it really is it will adjust the way the engine runs to how it should be for the wrong temperature.
