Why are you looking for it?
The idle air is control by the computer and like I saw in your earlyer post it sounds like you need a M16 motor(throttle body).
If you have a 104 engine(silver valve cover) then its a PITA to change.

The IAT sensor is on the intake right before it goes into the engine. It takes 30 seconds to check and change. This is on the older engine.

I'd try cleaning it with alchohol first. This trick sometimes works on even the air mass meter.

No, it's not. If we were allowed to post pictures larger than one byte I could show you.
Stupid cheap forum. What happened to being able to give out useful information?
