I need a pic of the MAT sensor pigtail please

Anyone have a pic handy or at a point where they could get me a picture of a MAT sensor pigtail? This would be for a TPI setup. I need the pigtail that comes from the main harness connector to the actual sensor underneat the upper plenum. I can't find one at a local yard, auto parts store so I have the connectors to make my own.

A simple Google search does wonders...http://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/pro...roducts_id/408 $6, and you can get a new one. Not worth building your own.

Stephen,
----------
Stephen, I half agree with you. I already know I can get a complete jumper harness (should have called it by the right name in my title) from TPI parts for 16 bux. The thing is I have both connectors already but the connector (pigtail) that connects to the plenum sensor isn't marked with A & B like the jumper connector on the main harness. 20 bux is 20 bux saved if I have the parts in hand and only need a reference pic to do some soldering. I do however appreciate you at least responding trying to help me out.

I'm not following what it is you need them.

I relocated my my IAT sensor away from the hot plenum, to just behind the MAF. Now I get a true reading, and my MPG has gone up, maybe 2-4 on average. I've been tracking mine since day one, and it definitely shows better after, than before.

Stephen, sorry to confuse. What I need is the "jumper connection" that goes from the main harness MAT connector to the actual sensor underneath the plenum. I think it a little 6-8 inch long "mini harness" if you will. Here's what I have connectors to build and need: http://tpiparts.net/inc/sdetail/815

Ah...I didn't realize there was a "jumper" connection, to the main harness. Just pulled mine loose, cut the wires, and spliced in lengths of wire, to lengthen it, to relocate my IAT.

if you live by a junkyard go there find one then splice the wires, would be cheaper
