That product won't do a thing

You don't cut into the manufactures expertise &
start changing things, unless your building a race car

You have an 11 year old vehicle
I ask- is it even conceivible to increase mileage,
horse power etc,etc if it was brand new & on a street
driven vehicle? No

Every week we get several questions like yours &
not one product has instructions,that's odd isn't it

Who are you asking these questions to & how would
any but a handful of old time car guys even know what
your referring to?

SOURCE: IAT and MAF info

I have the same "chip" (really just a resistor). It should be the wire harness that clips into the lower box of the intake. I believe it is a green and a black wire. Just unclip it and slide the end of the resistor into each wire prong. Then tape the heck out of it. I put a rubber cap over mine then electrical tape. Works like a charm

SOURCE: installing chip and want to double check wiring. Need to find IAT/MAF sensor diagram for 2003 Ford Ranger

Save your money, the chip is a ohm resistor at Radio Shack for under $2.00. It splices in to you IAT wire harness located at the intake tube between the air filter housing and throttle body.
Problem with this system is, that you can not adjust anything and have to run a constant 91 octane just to make sure you do not have a Detonation. The ECM will catch the Detonation from the knock sensor and compensate for it by retarding the timing which in turn lose of HP till next start up.
If you like and don't mind the check engine light on once and awhile, you can do the same by just disconnecting the IAT wire harness which give the ECM a 0 resistance thinking it's -20 out side and turn the timing up and lengths the injector pules.
When i was running a Nitro in the Toy before i sold it, i had installed a 10K ohm Potentiometer which you can buy at radio shack for under $5.00 i believe, I just spliced it in to the IAC wire harness so if i wanted to play with the Nitro I'ld turn the resistor up making the engine think it's 185 degrees F and would ****** the timing so i would not hurt the engine. But if i wanted to get more timing i would just turn the knob to drop the resistance to get more time since the engine thinks it's -20 out side.
Hope this helps. Keep me posted if you need more info. Best thing is to do a dyno tune and you can change everything right down to the Shift points.

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:

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

I want to install a Tunesport module in my 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. Which wires do I connect to?

That is not a chip (it is a 50 cent resistor) and it will void your warranty and likely damage the engine as well.

2005 chevy cobalt IAT sensor wire colors

Hi Mike:
The IAT sensor is an integral part of the Mass Airflow Sensor, located on the air filter box. The MAF sensor has 5 wires. The yellow wire with the green stripe is the output from the IAT and feeds terminal THA on the ECU.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

The IAT is integrated with the MAF sensor on the 09 Fusion. The MAF is located near the air box on all three engines. on the driver's side, and will be held to some part of the intake tubing by 2 torx screws. http://media.photobucket.com/image/2009%20Fusion%20MAF/itsamecameron/fusion4cylengineMAF.jpg 2.3L shown, 3.0 and 3.5 should be similar.
