Re: IAT Sensor Location

DOn't waste the cash, go to radio shack and get the resistor you need for a buck and short it between the terminals on the IAT plug. It's a modest improvement but does richen your fuel mixtire a bit. Unfortunately the ECM compensates for it after a while and you're back to square 1.

If you're interested I'm sure someone will chime in with the value of the resistor needed.

Re: Re: IAT Sensor Location

I am trying to locate the the plug itself. I know that it requires a 3.3K ohm resistor and I have a couple of hundred of those in my shop.
