Which sensors are these?

While my L98 is out of my 1991 trans am, I would like to replace the sensors that will be difficult to reach once it's reinstalled. On the lower side of the motor, there appear to be four sensors: 2 temp sensors, a knock sensor, and an oil switch/sensor. Is this correct? Are there any sensors I'm missing?

Re: Which sensors are these?

Map = mass air, correct? CTS = coolant temp sensor. What's IAT? Is there a diagram of where all the different sensors go?

IAT=intake air temperature. Underside of upper plenum close to fuel pressure regulator on tpi cars. I believe I read some years have them in the air filter duct or maybe folks modify and move them there. I'm not educated on tbi location.

MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure,
MAF = Mass Air Flow

Re: Which sensors are these?

if you have a 91 it's map (speed density).
