5-SpeedStallion said:If I remeber correctly, it is integrated into the MAF housing or something starting in '01, so you don't have a seperate little IAT sensor thing.
Are you asking because you want to install a CAI and you have an extra hole for the IAT? If so, you just plug it.
I have a '00, so I'm not totally sure on this. Hopefully someone with an '01+ can confirm this.
sonicstang23382 said:alrite so the IAT sensor is part of the MAF sensor and there are like 6 wires or so, which ones are for the IAT sensor because what im trying to do is hook this resistor to the IAT sensor to cheat the sensor into telling it that colder air is actually passing through the intake to increase my horsepower

97sally6 said:if they make them as powerful as they can, then why doesnt the mustang have 600 hp like carol shelby says it can easily do right now from the factory? manufacturers dont care if a competitors care is .1 of a second faster than theirs, as long as it sells. we performance enthusiasts, on the other hand, do care about every .1 we can shave off. big difference. its not hard to put on a free flowing air filter or route the air induction tubing more smothly, but they dont do any of that either. nothing like that would break. all they care about is gas mileage and longevity, and the bottom line
5-SpeedStallion said:In the case of a 600hp Mustang, reliability will go down, even if just a little, and fuel efficiency will likely drop. Also, they're likely at the point of diminishing returns. If someone was buying the car for it's power, it's already got 500hp. Spending the money to get to 600hp isn't going to result in many more sales.
97sally6 said:It will get more sales when GM drops an LS7 (think Z06) in an SS camaro and smokes the gt 500 in a straight line and on the road course with an independent rear. the v6 is not a performance car from the factory, plain and simple. its not meant to be, its not marketed that way. thats why they choose mileage over performance.
i need help locating the intake air temperature(IAT) sensor on a 2003 V6 mustang..anybody know??
