Below the throttle body's rubber y-pipe is a metal y-pipe...the IAT sensor is right smack in the middle.

umm...yes it kinda is a b*tch to change! well it's easy to change but tightening one of the screws without the perfect tools (a stubby swivel on an extension) or without removing a lot of stuff first. you'll see what i mean
