the sensor i'm having trouble finding/identifying is the one located directly next to where the hose from brake booster goes to the top of the intake. i was leaning towards an air intake presure sensor, but im not sure. i've searched threw a few forums an didnt have any luck. any information is appreciated.

Not to be nitpicky but it's the IAT - same initials, might confuse someone at a parts store :D

Re: question on sensor.

If it was a Ford, it could be called a MCT (manifold charge temperature) sensor. It would also throw on the check engine light at -40* (like last night) because Ford engineers didn't think it gets that cold.

Re: question on sensor.

well, I'm a bit confused, The reason being I'm re building my motor right now, and I seem to be short a sensor...which is surprising to me for how carefully i set everything aside, and I see in my pictures a grey capped sensor in the driverside head, and the intake...Im guessing the one in the intake has an open cage style tip for reading the air, but I was wondering if anyone had info on what the sensor in the head looked like, my guess is that its a coolant temp sensor...

Re: question on sensor.

the one in the head should have a solid metal end on it. and it is one of the coolant temp sensors.

Also, the one in the head has only one connection (green wire) unlike the one on the lower intake which has 2. Head is for gauge coolant, intake is for ECM coolant.
