Hello I will help you with your question,

 

The IAT is part of the MAP sensor, do you need the wire colors?

Expert:  George H replied 334 days and 6 hours ago.

The chip maker does not know this engine, you need the MAP sensor and the #3 and #4 pins in the connector have the green and black wires for the IAT

Let me know how I can help

 

Thank you

Expert:  George H replied 334 days and 6 hours ago.

Yes it will work the same your IAT is not in the same place as most of them. Most are mounted alone or in the MAF but yours is in the MAP.

 

All the IAT does is measure the temperature of the incoming air so it can be mounted anywhere in the intake ducting. Yours is packaged with the MAP as shown above.

 

Let me know how i Can help

 

Thank you

Expert:  George H replied 334 days and 5 hours ago.

It is not a graphic but a photo but the MAP sensor is shown where it is mounted on the intake. Is it the resolution that you are having trouble with or the location shown?

 

 

Customer replied 334 days and 5 hours ago.

is the resolution plus the sensor is not in intake

Expert:  George H replied 334 days and 5 hours ago.

OK, the sensor is in the intake so it can measure the intake pressure and temperature. This is what this sensor does.

 

maybe the graphic below will help you locate it. You need to find the component shown at #2 in the diagram below

Let me know if that helps

 

Thank you
