 Subject: IAT Sensor Relocate
IP: Logged
Message:
I was looking at my truck and it looks like there are 2 sensors that look the same. One on top of the intake by the #2 cylinder and one down by the thermostat. Not sure which one to move. Thanks for any help

And, your truck was made in_____year.
And, you have a ______engine.
And, you meant to add the most important data to your question, so some one could help you out.
All I know really, is that you have at least two cylinders. PS-moving the IAT in the winter won't get you much.

It's the one on top of the intake.
I still don't understand why everyone wants to move it.

I have a 99 with the 5.9. Not sure why I want to move it either. Everyone keeps talking about it so I thought I would give it a shot.

If you aren't sure what the IAT does, and the principles involved as to why you would want to move it, then I wouldn't bother.

Actually, I do understand what the sensor does by reading all of the different post's out here. I have read both positive and negative things for doing this. I already moved it. I wanted to make sure I moved the right one. I have not ran it long enough to see a real change.

Mr fink,
cool, I hope you moved the correct one also.
I think that if you did move the correct one, then you probaby really wouldn't notice it.
Mostly, the % gain can often be seen on a dyno run, same conditions, with it in the two different places.
I think it's popular b/c, most of us are trying many inexpensive ways to squeeze a little more out of our engines. It usually is inexpensive, or often free, to relocate the IAT, and it has the potential to help some.

No, I think that most of the people on this board move it because they have no idea how an engine works, and think that more fuel = more horsepower (much like the larger injectors...). What they don't know is that a leaner mixture will produce more horsepower than a rich mix.
After moving it, you will notice:
No gain
Worse MPG

moving the sensor also allows the on-board computer to increase spark advance, which in turn will give you slightly more power.

I agree with Joe, poor mileage, could take a toll
on the cat, I get a code. Buy the MP computer and
or move the crank sensor for more advance.

Moving the IAT sensor is a very popular mod because it can solve the problem of the manifold superheating the brass IAT sensor. This causes an improper reading, and moving it can gain better performance.

so I guess Joey was waiting, must've keep the milage down on his truck at least.
I'm unclear how people have lost MPG, mine increased, along wiht performance. must've been that I reset my pcm to learn it all over again.
