Sensors in Air Cleaner

There are two plugs in my air cleaner assembly, one goes to the air temp sensor. I can't seem to figure out what the other plug is. It looks like a sensor of some sort, it is round. Anybody know what this is? I can get a pic if necessary.

The air cleaner has an electrical connection for the IAT and a vacuum connection for the Thermac valve.

Re: Sensors in Air Cleaner

I didn't take any pictures of the other electrical connector in there, but this is the part.

Does anybody have a part number for the IAC?
