If any of you guys have a picture or even a description of the location please pass it along. Thanks, Jon

To remove it from the tube you can just pull it out. Last edited by PacificTourGL; 08/06/05 11:31 PM.

If your have four wires going to your MAF, you have a seperate IAT. If you have six wires going to your MAF, then the IAT is built into the MAF housing.

HTH, BP I have 6 wires for my MAF, and I just purchased a module for my IAT Sensor. I noticed in the Hanes book the wires for the IAT Sensor are supposed to be brown/white and violet/white, which I found on the MAF. Now, my module has red/black wiring, which of the wires for the IAT is negative/postive?
