Yes, My Mitsi had three sensors in the intake. Never did find out which was the culprit. The whole motor was riddled with sensors. A specialist might know what they sensed and when and why, but us punters wouldn't. Especially a dinosaur like me.
I was GOOD with SU carbs, points ignition, tappets.... stuff before cars became so reliable. And had rare-earth filters in the exhaust system. And computers, which may or may not be working properly.
