IAT...where does it go

Ok, i just got done with the open element mod, and i took the sensor from the old air cleaner housing and recapped the IAT. So now what do i do with it?


Also, if you can see that tube by my wrist, what do I do with that?

I have put mine at the base of the firewall but thats not a good idea cauz the engine stays on fast idle for a long time when cold starting plus many things ... You just need to drill a hole at the base of your air cleaner . For more info just read Ultimate TBI mods .

like he said drill a hole in the base of the air cleaner just about where it was on the old air cleaner but towards the bottom and fit it in there like it should. also that hose if that is the crankcase vent then just go to your local parts store and get a little breather filter forgot what size and pop it either in the hole on the valve cover and make sure the rubber hole thing doesnt break from old age and fall inside. then you can get rid of that hose too. open element sounds cool doesnt it?

Re: IAT...where does it go

well it measures the incoming air temperature. if anything itll just make your car run richer or leaner by where you put it because itll be measuring the temperature at that location.
