The chip system from Gforce is more then just a resister...it is a programmable chip and resistors and Diodes and more...they have come along way since the first ones they built...

Your vehicle dose not have a maf sensor. They used a map sensor it is on the engine located under the front of the breater where it attaches to the engine.

SOURCE: The GForce Performance Chip has

That is not a chip, it is a resistor in a fancy package. It cost about a dollar to make it. Jet also makes one. All it does is increase the resistance in your IAT circuit so that the PCM thinks the air coming in is colder than it actually is. Since most PCMs will add timing in colder air, you can get a bit of a perforance boost this way. The problem is, modern OBD 2 systems constantly checks itself and sensors. Since the PCM also reads a mass air flow sensor and an oxygen sensor, it eventually sees that there isn't as much air getting in as expected (since colder air is more dense) so it recalibrates the air temperture sensor thinking it is fautly. So, after a couple of days your 'chip' won't make any difference at all and in some cases it can actually cause the service engine light to come on. Also, the claims they make about these chips are unfounded and ridicuouls. Even a real chip or programmer can't expect more than a 15% gain. There is no way this IAT mod will add more than 3% and that will only be the first time you drive it. Try to get your money back and find a real chip or programmer for your car. If you are just bent on putting a resistor in your IAT wire, go get one from Radio Shack for a dollar and pocket the rest of the money.

Where is iat sensor on 2006 toyota tacoma 4.ol 4door located ?

This is the 2001-2012 Toyota Tacoma wiring diagram, Toyota Tacoma IAT (Intake Air Temperature) Sensor Location and the Toyota Tacoma MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor Location, also included is a pinout of the sensor. You are likely installing a performance chip or a cold air intake kit for increased HP (Horsepower). You will want to be sure to disconnect the car battery before adding performance products.




Here is the Toyota Tacoma's Iat sensor diagram:

I have a 2009 Honda Odyssey. Please show me the color code for IAT sensor, and its position. Thanks

IAT, is the air temp.
this sensor varies by what engine you car has. (and country)

you could just log i to alldata.com and look, its all there.
3.5 L V6 this engine? is common in USA>
out side USA is this
It is equipped with a 2.4 L engine and CVT
vast diffr. engines... no body ever post engine or country so i must as
the questions.
why are you worried, about IAT, just a clue, helps.
the scan tool said its bad?
ok , i logged in for you, looked up this sensor
and this 3.5L has a MAF, Air flow meter near air cleaner.
and guess what , the IAT is inside the MAF !!
why not post the why so we can help,
post symptoms. or, scan codes, or? really

What two wires do i hook gforce chip to what colors 2010 5.7 hemi

Don't do it

There won't be any benefits & you may ruin the vehicle
over time

NO ONE has instructions for that product

Ask yourself WHY

Gforce --doesn't know more than Fiat/Dodge

Your PCM does not have the parameters into it
for a different MAF Input

2007 BMW 328i IAT Wire Colors in MAF Sensor

If you are installing a so called "chip" don't do it, it can harm the engine due the changes it causes in fuel control as related to Intake Air Temperature and burn holes in the pistons. All that little part really is, is a $.50 (50 cent) resistor that you can buy from Radio Shack, it is smoke and mirrors and it also will void any warranty you may have. I for one strongly advise against installing it, it will make not difference in power and all there claims are just lies and falsehoods..

Well im not sure why you are asking this question . They are two differant systems the mas air flow and the idle air intake bolth run off a 5 volt referance voltage but are not related so to speak to each other as far as the same ref voltage the same ground as every thing else .The IAT MAP TP ECT and fuel pressure sensor are one side and the MAF EGR and the EVAP are on the other side but all on a common ground . Ex plain what you are trying to do and why you are trying to do it and mabey i can make your life a little easyer and what caused this problem
