Default Air Temperature Sensor

The guys at Advanced Auto diagnosed my "check engine light" as an Air Temperature Sensor problem. What and where is it?

I replaced the Air Temp Sensor on the front bumper (Ambient) and the Air Charge sensor on the intake. Started the car and the light came on after about 5 seconds. ANY IDEAS WOULD REALLY HELP!

Sedan I assume? I know on the coupes the AIT sensor is coupled with the MAF sensor. I know of other cars having a seperate IAT.

The code actually says P0073-AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR HIGH. I replaced the sensor on the front bumper. No help. I can't believe that an outside temp sensor would cause a check engine light to go off! Is this related to something else? I need to get this light off....
